Meiko’s Health Insurance Close Call
Meiko updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Thursday (September 10), revealing that her recent hospitalization could have sent her in financial peril had she not paid her health insurance bill on time. The singer songwriter tells readers:
I’m sitting here at home watching Sicko by Michael Moore and and its actually making me a little sick. These stories are so sad.
Can you believe that 1 month before I had my “Brain Pain” I had just reinstated my health insurance?
I go through a company called Tonik.com and I missed a few bills… My friend Mike 4100 was like “duuuude- don’t let this slide- because when you do- thats when you’re gonna need it!”
Sooooo- I handled it, almost a month later is when I had to go to the hospital for a dilated ventricle in my brain. Woah.
So yesterday- I got the bill for it saying the total cost was $100,000.00, But insurance had covered the full amount…
I just felt like I needed to tell you this, thats all. I feel very lucky to have health insurance and damn if I ever miss a bill again! HAHA!
