do you have "traditional" health insurance?
we've got blue cross of california's ppo (through my wife's work), and we haven't had any problems at all with payment...
and the amount of the hospital/doctor bills is capped by the ppo's contract with them...
my wife switched jobs just so that we could get into this particular ppo plan...
we pay $146 every two weeks for the two of us...
