Sorry for your loss. This is one of the things that tends to get overlooked when discussing how awful the US health care industry is. You always hear: "US health care is terrible unless you have insurance!" But, it's also terrible when you have insurance! There are all kinds of ways doctors, hospitals, and insurance companies conspire to drain your pockets or your loved ones' estate's pockets, and they're all likely documented somewhere in a 100 page policy. The system is irredeemably beyond repair.
