My son was in the hospital for 4 days and the charge was $20,000.
The ER visit before admitting was a separate $2,000 charge.

We have insurance, so we only had to pay around $8,000 out of pocket. It would have been less, but some of the people in the hospital didn't take our insurance, and our insurance also said that some procedures were overpriced so they only paid the amount they thought was fair.

We didn't get to pick any of the people who provided care, and we were not presented with the ability to negotiate on prices to make sure our insurance wasn't being taken advantage of while they were doing respiratory therapy on our baby.

Our entire system needs to be torn the fuck down and be replaced with something entirely free. I don't even give a fuck about people abusing the system at this point. Fuck it, let it cover elective cosmetic surgery. Never say no to anyone unless the doctor says it first.
My taxes will go up, but I can fucking promise they won't go up by as much as I'd be saving in premium.
Because of right, I pay hundreds of dollars a month for the insurance that then only pays once I get fucked hard enough, and then still doesn't pay for all of it.
Fuck the entire industry, fire them all and seize their assets.

And I'm well off compared to a lot of people.

Better yet, have Mario pay them a visit. They have more than earned it! 👹
