A familiar member recently had a medical emergency with approximately the same urgency and simplicity of treatment as acute appendicitis. We just got the bill:

- Hospital charged insurance $60000.
- Insurance said nah, that was worth $20000 tops.
- Insurance paid the hospital $17000.
- Because our insurance is “good”, we “only” owe the hospital about $3000 for the 6 hours we were there.

Boy, sure glad we don’t have that socialism medicine. /s
