A few weeks back I posted on my personal experience with US versus Canadian Healthcare
This week, I received the paperwork from my insurance company to sort out the expenses for my adventure in LA. Just to refresh your memory, while in LA I became very sick, and ended up going to an ER at a nearby hospital. While at the ER, I spent 8+ hours in the waiting room, and about 2 actually being treated. A doctor saw and evaluated me. I was monitored for heart rate, BP, etc., had some blood work, and was given an IV for fluids and some meds. I was then given a prescription and discharged.
The cost for this treatment? Just shy of $3500.
No wonder the healthcare system in the US is as screwed up as it is!
