A 70-year-old US man who beat Covid19 got a heart-stopping surprise after leaving hospital... a whopping $1.1M medical bill!
Chief Scientific Officer Dr Jeff Drew, holds samples of the potential oral vaccine for the Covid-19 illness that are being tested for temperature stability in the Stabilitech laboratory in Burgess Hill south east England, May 15, 2020.
But he recovered and was discharged on May 5 to the cheers of nursing staff, only to receive a 181-page bill totalling $1,122,501.04, he told the newspaper. Flor is covered by Medicare, a government insurance program for the elderly, and should not have to take out his wallet, according to the Times. But in a country where health care is among the most expensive in the world, and the idea of socialising it remains hugely controversial, he said he feels "guilty" knowing that taxpayers will bear much of the cost.
