The total was 100% of my income.
But I would like to see tort reform to relieve that burden on
her. That threat also led to having to see a cardiologist for an echo-cardiogram prior to surgery because of my age.

I always knew it. It's just that I've not encountered it. I did have the same, opposite side, surgery 25 years ago but I didn't get an itemized bill for it. Besides that surgery and the birth of our son, we've only used it for yearly exams.
I don't have dental insurance but have to get an implant next month. At the moment it's $4000 out-of-pocket but, knowing this, I can probably get it down about 25%. The GOP Congress didn't do us any favors today.
