    Happened to my 12 year old a couple of months ago. Our hospital bill was the equivalent of ~15$. My dad went through a year of cancer treatment a little over a decade ago. His hospital bill was a jaw dropping ~15$ equivalent as well.

    It keeps the hypochondriacs from wasting resources.

      Are you sure? If I was a hypochondriac, the $60/mo “Medical doctor confirms you’re fine every Wednesday” plan sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

      My dad had a cardiac arrest a few years ago. Resuscitation, ambulance, two hospitals, a week in a coma, another week recovering.

      I think the biggest expense was putting their cat in the cattery for a week.
