Hank's recovery discussion

What happens

12:46–16:35

Back at the hospital, a doctor tests for feeling in Hank's legs, noting that nerve function appears to be returning. However, the doctor informs Skyler and Marie that the odds are against Hank making a full recovery. Another hospital staffer refers to insurance delays and alludes to policy limitations, but advises Marie not to go out of plan or she could wind up bankrupt. Upon being told that insurance covered physical therapy would be medically justifiable but not optimal to getting Hank walking again, so Marie decides that she will arrange Hank's care herself.
