Wow! rural Surgery is cheap!

Hi! Just got my bill (paid by Blue Cross) for my recent surgery, 3 breast tumors removed. For a private room, a meal, total surgery costs and 2 visits aftercare, $3, 517.24, my share $35. The care at Canton-Potsdam Hospital is great and it's right here in the village.
My insurance paid more than that to remove a loose screw from a bunion surgery in Minneapolis and the care was, well, well meaning and big city. That was with a skeleton crew and only local anaesthesia.
