Had someone deliberately ram me on my way home from night shift yesterday morning. They really are out to kill us. The one time I wasn't splitting...

There has to be some back story to this. Spill it :)

Just want to be sure I understand the gist of it: your dad got injured due to no fault of his own and now owes a hospital $200.000?

Not exactly. The bill for services rendered at the (out of network) hospital was 200k. His insurance paid this, but there is some question as to what that insurance will attempt to recover from my dad. He's paid a few grand in copays and whatnot so far. That insurance is in addition to Medicare. We have no idea how Medicare will interact with the final result either, yet.

Now- if my dad didn't have health insurance or medicare, he would have a $200k bill from the hospital and a $50k payout from the sum total of Jose Assface's insurance and his own under-insured motorist coverage. That would have left him with a $150k balance to pay. However that scenario didn't happen.

Ah ok, thanks for explaining the finer nuances (which we euro folk don't always get to hear). I'm interested to hear how it all pans out.
