I was reviewing the billing details for my ER visit back in February. I’ve become somewhat desensitized to the exorbitant costs associated with medical care in the U.S., but I was still shocked when I learned how much the ER visit alone cost. Just for showing up and being admitted into the ER cost $4,725. That doesn’t include any physician fees, diagnostic, medications, or treatment charges. That’s just for showing up. 🏥💸
