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…
