• New York teacher charged $10,382.96 for visiting a hospital to request a test, after returning from Italy and presenting symptoms, and being turned away.

    OK, so she only had to pay $75 of it, but gotta love the workings of that US non-healthcare system. How the fuck?

  • she was charged 75 dollars, which is her co-pay which is, presumably, what she would be charged for going to the ER for any reason at all.

  • Yes, I know, you posted that as I was already editing to clarify. But that charge on the insurance doesn't go nowhere. It's what makes the system inaccessible to so many.
