Mark, from Whitehall Michigan, is a general contractor specializing in custom and remodeling work. Working on a table saw, doing dado cuts, his miter gauge snapped resulting in his hand being "sucked" into the blade. The result was that he lost the tip of his middle finger and scarring on his index finger. Mark was surprised by his really good medical insurance not covering all the costs with 5,000 to 6,000 dollars of out-of-pocket expenses to him.
