			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just looked at the hospital bill we got that covers all the things that have happened since Martha first got diagnosed w/ Melanoma (die cancer, die!) this past September&#8230;</p>
<p>So, this covers two surgeries, several &#8216;minor procedures&#8217;, imaging, visits, etc.:</p>
<p>Total hospital charges: $28,655.49<br />
Adjustments to date: $-22,091.34<br />
Amount pending from insurance: $229.85<br />
Already paid by insurance: $-6,356.30<br />
Already paid by patient: $0.00<br />
Amount [we] owe now: $50.00</p>
<p>Wow! I&#8217;m not about to get into the current healthcare reform stuff (I&#8217;m not intellectually equipped to do so) &#8230; but, wow, thank God for a job, a job that&#8217;s a good job, and a job that provides insurance.</p>
