He of course works for a company with thousands of people but how can a company of 20 people afford the premiums if fellow employees are getting bills this high?
Seriously guys no BS it was $275K

Why is that such a big deal? Separating two disks is a pretty big deal.
Fixing a herniated disk at Mayo Clinic is around $50,000 if I remember correctly. But you're in and out in 2 weeks.
