Mimi Yin is 1 of...

11 who can't tell if they have enough coverage.

4 who spend under $10,000 per year on healthcare.

3 who are covered by their spouse's employer.

29 who have never been turned down for insurance.

16 between 25 and 44.

13 women.

2 months ago, I stepped on a rusty nail. I knew my tetanus shot was out of date. The final bill was over $1000! Is that a lot? Afterwards, it took another 2 months to sort out my bill, which came in 2 or 3 parts. I don't know how much more money was wasted by the hospital trying to get my bills paid. I wonder if it was more than $1000.
