      I considered it incredible when we had insurance that only cost $100 for an ER visit. That’s $100 to walk in the door and be seen, any treatments you get on top of that are extra.

      yeah, and your ambulance ride if you needed one with cost you another 3-4 figures.

      and you will wait in teh ER for 8-12 hours for basically anything. typical wait time to just get from the entry lobby is 2-4 hours.

      it will be your entire day/evening/overnight.

      and the the nurses and doctors haven’t slept in 2-3 days.

      services are generally better, if you are admitted to the regular hospital. but ERs are a trainwreck.

      $300 for me to walk in the door (US), and my plan is from a healthcare employer, so I’d be getting care at the same fucking medical system that insures me.
