Thanks @Summerhill38 - Im pleased I'm not the only one who felt ripped off and again working from 15 paying taxes for my whole working life and now at 67 am on seniors pension and yet had to pay so much GAP. Yep I felt like I was an easy way to make some fast money, at a very vulnerable time. I wish Id known what I know now too. Im starting radiation next Monday and have haggled with the company to pay only $142.60 per week for 7 weeks - but still feel 'taken advantage of' Its hard to complain as I feel I should be grateful these people are there and able to perhaps save your life, but at the same time angry because they make so much money over and above what the medical benefits (public & private pay) e.g. Scheduled fee $900=. Charge $3500). It is really nice to know that people support us while we go through the emotions that come and go like changing winds. Hope you get to live to 96 in a healthy, happy and prosperous life too Summer. x :)
