I got a $1000 bill from LRGH for our hospital stay for my son's birth about a week after his 2nd birthday. I called them up and they said they *lost* it...? And they had never submitted it to my insurance. I was no longer with that insurance company *and* they no longer operated in NH. You can imagine the exciting hours I spent on the phone getting that worked out. LRGH's billing dept. is terrible. We've had three ultrasounds with our currently pregnancy and so far I have received 5 separate bills that say just "Ultrasound" all for different amounts.
I will say that regarding Obamacare, I don't know if it's the right answer or not, but I'll give him credit for trying. The system cannot last how it is now. As a business owner I can attest that having the provide healthcare for employees is like an anchor around your neck.
