Let's play a game, twitter. Anyone outside of the US, or who's never had to deal with US insurance/medical bills.
I went to the ER (A&E, for UK folks) b/c my doctor told me too, b/c it was after urgent cares had closed.
I just got my first bill. Let's see how much it cost me.

For comparison, in Germany this would have cost me 0€, as would any other treatment. I pay about the highest public insurance rate possible, approx. 900€ ($ 1050 US) a month (which covers me and my immediate family). My employer would pay half of that if I weren’t self-employed
