good. I am asking this because I spent about five days in the hospital a while back (cat scratch that got infect with some sort of staph) and the hospital bill alone not counting the surgery or the wound care was over 17 thousand dollars. My tab was $75 per day. That might sound like great coverage, but it didn't cover a lot of things.
