          I don't think so, Medicare pays my bill,   
   I pay a little over $300 a month for Pat B   
   and Part B Supplemental.   
      
          Medicare has designated code numbers   
   for all procedures and services, with approved   
   amounts they pay.   
      
          It doesn't matter to Medicare what the   
   hospital charges, they just get the approved   
   amount for inpatient, and 80% of the   
   approved amount for outpatient, my   
   supplemental pays the 20%.   
      
         No matter what, the insurance companies   
   will have revenue in excess of what they pay.
