Is that my bill?


It was weird getting the first bills of 2005. I've become accustomed to getting some bills declaring (incorrectly) that some very large sum is "my responsibility." It's always been simple. As long as they said my responsibility was anything more than 0, they were wrong.

Now that it's a new year, there are deductibles and co-pays. I'm actually going to have to start looking through those bills for the part that is really mine. It reminds me that I intended to call a few congresspeople about "truth in medical billing." Some of these things really are ridiculous.
