Now here's the deal. If I can find out the price then you have to leave MJs forever(or atleast make up another stupid name and join again). If I can't find it out the I'll leave. Deal?
Challenge accepted.
That's a very fair offer. Here, call this number (864) 560-6000, Spartanburg Regional Hospital.
Actually they may be able to include the doc if he's one of their paid staff, but if not, I'll let you off on that.
Be forewarned, neither you or they can fake it. I have a copy of the bill from them for exactly that surgery which I recently had. It shows both their best cash price and the amount they accepted from Medicare, to the penny.
Like any quote you might get, whether from a painter or a car tire shop, or a restaurant, get it in writing, complete, all-in, out-the-door. I'll then post their actual bill which shows both their cash price and Medicare price, although the Medicare price is irrelevant, since anyone can look it up on-line.
Still, I'll even give you some slack. Get within 5% on their cash price and I'll call you the winner.
You're a gambling man, layinwood. Go for it. I'll honor the bet if you win, and expect you to honor the bet if (when) you lose.
And if (when) you're unable to deliver, I expect you to hit the road.
How long do you need? A day? A week? A month?
Two years, still no answer.
Hit the road, layinwood.
