== [?] Open heart surgery ==

Maybe this is not the right newsgroup to ask, but I need this
information desperately for my Dad.

1.      On average, how much does it cost to perform open
        heart surgery in U.S.? Note: without health insurance.
        In Singapore, they quoted about US$500,000. Is it
        a reasonable figure? It’s too high for middle income
        family like us, we cannot afford it. He went through
        catheterization twice and the result showed that
        about 70-80% of the blood vessels have been blocked.
2.      What are the risks involved? Success rate, etc.
3.      What are his options being health-insurance-less? I don’t
        think any insurance company will accept his case.

Please help me, I’m really confused and worried…
