I went to the ER here in Dallas a couple of weeks ago because of some chest pains I was having.
The good news - it's just some stomach acid. ER doctor prescribed Prilosec OTC and sent me away.
The bad news - $4,500 in medical bills for 3 hours spent in the ER. Most of that was spent watching TV waiting for the results of blood tests & x-rays to be announced.

Never saw a bill and didn't pay a dime. And by that I mean besides the roughly 300 EUR that's taken out of my pay check every month now that I'm gainfully employed. People less fortunate get it for free, of course.

- datalus 14y agoI spent the night in an ER once after being knocked unconscious during a mugging, grand total of 5k which half was for the 8 block ambulance ride. Mugged twice! All jokes aside I learned the value of employer provided health insurance.
