The final bill from my appendectomy (no complications, wasn't even in the hospital for 24 hours total) in March was $169k USD.

With "good" insurance, I still paid $7k out of pocket.

My wife had an appendectomy with 3 nights in the hospital. We paid 30€ and my insurance paid ~2600€. What the hell is wrong with the US?

If the insurance paid 162k$ (plus your 7) this comes out of the insured peoples pockets.> Text> Text
