Jon Gosselin's $20K Health Scare Sparks Conversation on Hospital Billing
Jon Gosselin details a life-threatening medical emergency weeks before his wedding to Stephanie Lebo, when he was diagnosed with two bilateral pulmonary embolisms after driving himself to the hospital. He ultimately recovered but faced about a $20,000 hospital bill, which he believes included unnecessary testing and possible double-billing. A healthcare strategist helped him review the itemized charges, and he has since turned the experience into advocacy for the broken healthcare system, including participating in a Sundance fundraiser.
