Sounds to me like you need a better health insurance plan.  Unfortunately, yes, there are companies that charge a certain amount for a hospital stay as a co-pay.  If I were you, I'd ask for a copy of my plan and look at it yourself.  What do you have to lose?  Just a thought.  Good luck.

Wow, that's pretty crazy. Not many people can afford $300 per day. I sometimes wonder what's the point of insurance if that's the co-pay.

good luck!

my former insurance, had a $250 co-pay for hospital stays.  it was not per night.. it was per stay.  i chose this coverage because we are rarely hospitalized in my family and it was a much cheaper PPO alternative at the time.  most of my co-workers still hold this insurance.  i changed only because aetna is considered much more wls-friendly.  your insurance should have a website that lists your co-pays.  you should be able to easily look this up without having to even call them.
