Is $200/day a lot for a highly effective antibiotic?
Genuine question--my experience is that a serious hospital stay racks up charges starting in the high five figures (and the sky's the limit), and if there's an antibiotic that's merely a couple thousand a day, it'd certainly be very cost effective.
- ajuc 12y ago> my experience is that a serious hospital stay racks up charges starting in the high five figures (and the sky's the limit) This is USA specific. Day in hospital in Poland costs around 100-400 USD (and that's for people without insurance, so for >95% of population it's free). It's probably worse quality, but still.. I don't understand how you get so outrageus prices for healthcare in USA.
