This is amazing to me. I am from Australia and did my ACL when I was 15, and the cost was around $3000. It was an overnight stay in hospital, the only costs not incurred for the actual surgery and operation were MRI's and physiotherapy. How that could cost 20x the amount in America, I could not possibly fathom. It is always a struggle for me to understand how health insurance is such a major expense in America, but when relatively routine surgery such as an ACL repair costs that much, things are put into perspective.
