Any guesses??

We got the bill for Jack's Life flight today. We've been witing a long time to see how much a life flight costs. We were blown away with the figure! Any guesses on how much a 74 mile life flight costs??? $20,000!!!!!!!!!!!! Some people don't even make that in a year! That breaks down to $551 a minute! CRAZY!! We are so very fortunate to have a wonderful insurance plan that pays for it 100%. Let's just hope we don't have to have any more of those!

OMG how scary, I feel for families who rely on insurance, here in the UK you would be flown to another hospital for free, they had a helicopter waiting to transfer Amélie to London after waiting 5 hours to take her up they deemed her to poorly for the flight and so the helicopter went back empty...what would that have cost the waiting time alone...

We moan about the NHS...but we shouldnt!!
