Here in Israel, if you go to the ER without are for referral from an urgent care clinic and the issue is found to be minor, you pay $140. Enough to deter frivolous cases, but not crippling.
- imadethis 5y agoIncidentally, that's about the amount my wife paid for a covered visit to an ER with a legitimate reason in the US. Doesn't matter if she had gone in with toe pain or a GSW, it still would have been the $100 copay plus whatever coinsurance the visit would have cost.
- tyingq 5y agoI remain mystified why our US Healthcare system seems unable to do common sense things. Also, when I last ran my own business, which was a while ago, the monthly premium for ONE employee+family was $2400. A high-end plan, but still...I was well into my late 20's before my entire paycheck was that much.
