You guys all know that I make friends with the people I deal with as I do my rounds. The frozen food guy is about 32. He has a serious heart condition and he has an implant that regulates whatever. It has a battery. The device is supposed to last for 5 years, and it has. The battery is about gone so it needs to be changed. So, I ask about changing the battery. He said you can't. It's a whole new device. I am a pretty good guesser on the price of things. He said guess how much a new one costs. I said $10,000. He just laughed. The device costs $50,000
So I asked what would happen if you didn't have insurance? He just smiled.
