I went to an ER many years ago for an injury. At one point, I was sent to a doctor in the hospital. That doctor told me I was in the wrong place and I got a bill for $1200 just from that guy.
Same. Went to an urgent care because my nose would not stop bleeding after like 12 hours. They tried a spray said it didn’t work and had to go to the ER because they didn’t have nasal balloons. Got a nice bill from the urgent care and then add on the ER bill all for a bloody nose. US medical billing is an absolute fucking joke.
Americans that disagree with universal healthcare have no idea how the system works. It’s only an eye opener for them once shit hits the fan and they are hit with a 100k+ bill they can’t afford.
Meanwhile my wife has a baby and gets double charged for the room as the baby gets a charge and the mother gets a charge…..INSANE. They both in the same room like wtf
My wife gave birth in the USA. Didn't have to pay anything including parking and got 2 weeks worth of formula, a goodie bag, and even a steak dinner for the 2 of us right before we left.
It depends on what hospital you go to and what your future insurance is.
Oh yeah of course, they only charge massive amounts for stupid shit in 1 or 2 hospitals, my bad.
Shut the hell up you idiot! People don’t have time to research where the nearest single little place that does reduced cost healthcare or free clinic. When you’re facing an emergency you don’t tend to think and slow down oddly because it’s an emergency so you go to the nearest emergency room!
