\n A 70-year-old Seattle man who nearly died from the coronavirus got hit with another shock after he recovered: a $1.1 million hospital bill.<\/p>\n

Michael Flor was so sick from COVID-19 that his wife and kids called him to say good-bye.<\/p>\n

But he managed to pull through while being treated at Swedish Medical Center in Issaquah, the Seattle Times reported.<\/p>\n

Then he got the sky-high bill for his care.<\/p>\n

\u201cI opened it and said \u2018holy [bleep]!\u2019\u201c Flor told the paper.<\/p>\n

The invoice, totaling an eye-popping $1,122,501.04, ran 181 pages, including $9,736 for his room in the intensive care unit, plus an extra $408,912 because the space had to be sealed off and staff needed to wear full protective gear.<\/p>\n

Many of the charges were for the drugs that kept him alive.<\/p>\n

Flor has a Medicare Advantage insurance policy that normally covers all charges after the roughly $6,000 deductible, the paper reported.<\/p>\n

Special financial regulations enacted by Congress for COVID-19 patients, however, might keep Flor from paying one red cent, the Seattle Times said.<\/p>\n

Flor said he was surprised by his own reaction to beating the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel guilty about surviving,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s a sense of, \u2018why me?\u2019 Why did I deserve all this? Looking at the incredible cost of it all definitely adds to that survivor\u2019s guilt.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
