In our house it is my husband and myself..Well we have been going to the Keaau clinic and the Pahoa clinic where they charge on a slidding scale. We had a financial surprise when I had to go to the Hilo ER and got charged a whopping $3500 for one visit. They did discount 30% since we had no insurance. Then came ultrasound and other tests with charges of about $700 we didn't expect. John is now working and is somewhat covered. I guess we are thinking for now eat healthy, exercise, get plenty of sleep etc. and hope for good health. Other wise.......well it could get tough.
