Even if you have what you might think of as good health insurance, your next hospital stay could cost more than $1,200 out of your pocket, University of Michigan researchers say.
That amount has gone up sharply in recent years, rising more than 37 percent just for straightforward hospital stays for common conditions. The statistics come from the first published analysis of actual out-of-pocket spending by people with private health insurance, most of it provided by employers. The study appears in JAMA Internal Medicine.
