Bills for overnight stays at HMC are pricey. You'd think for the price you'd get good meals. Not so. My operation and recovery time required me to stay there for 5 days. The operation cost $10,000 and took 3 hours....the room for 5 days cost $25,000 or approximately $5,000 a day. Meals were approximately $100.00+ each (and that was just for juice,vanilla pudding, chicken broth and tea).

Having spent to much time in a hospital this year I can agree with this statement, I was billed for three meals a day for 9 days, when I pointed out that I was unable to eat 8 of those days it was opps! I can make you feel better my 9 days billed out 280000 it did include surgery, twice.
