This is facts... Went to the hospital for an issue a few months back, no joke the doctor spent 3 minutes with me... two weeks later got a bill for $3500. Fuck these hospitals and doctors.
3 minutes? That's VIP treatment.
30 seconds with the ER doctor so that he can say "all is fine". 5k bill. Plus another 5k from the hospital. Because yea, hospital != doctor.
Meanwhile this summer, in a european country. Child stepped on something, tore her foot a bit. Went to the equivalent ER clinic. Doctor cleaned & patched the foot. At 9pm.
No forms to fill. No 6Million questions. No interactions with minimum wage mouth breathers that can barely speak english (if they can speak at all). Just doctors and nurses.
Total time in the clinic: 30 minutes. Cost: $0.
Please tell me more about the 'superior' american health system.
I wish that I could say ours was superior... it's not.
