Thanks, Vicki--I didn't absorb the 'they can't bill me the difference' first time around; was too busy coughing up a hairball over the bill itself

But Lord, what they try to pull. You're right, it's sad--for starters. The adjectives get more violent from there on.

And this is getting dangerously close to a natural segue into Health Care in the US, which could turn into a political debate, which would then go waaaaaay off topic, so I'll take the neutral way out and say, 'gosh dang it Vern, somebody oughta do somethin', and wish you better treatment in the future
