I spent half that time in Critical Care (much of that on a ventilator, a small amount sedated), and most of the rest in a specialist neuro-rehab unit. I would have died otherwise.
Fortunately it cost me nothing - Thank Bevan for the NHS - but if I were in the US I imagine I would be financially crippled!
That’s illegal under the ACA. That USED TO be the case, but now it’s the opposite. Once you hit a certain amount per year, you’re no longer on the hook for anything covered.
