> The "resolution" says they "only" have to pay 2.000$ in deductibles and copay now. Well, with what their insurance pays it's still about $10k total. > Just for comparison: a fully-fledged broken leg operation costs 3.000€ for non-insured people in Germany. My dad had brain surgery in Germany by pretty much the leading experts for that particular kind of surgery. The surgery itself, the hospital stay, etc. was about 18,000€ in total. We had to pay about 1,000€... for a hotel and living expenses for my mother and myself since we wanted to stay with him. Insurance covered everything my dad needed. So you can literally have brain surgery for what it costs to get some stitches in the US.
