Oddbean new post about login | logout One thing I love about having left the US is not having to stress out about crippling medical bills and struggling to get insurance companies to pay for my health care. The NZ system isn’t perfect but it works a hell of a lot better than the American system. https://www.reddit.com/r/newzealand/s/6I8zIZoUPE Ambulance, 10 days in the hospital, surgery, etc… $98. https://i.nostr.build/ZRzv45eHOCXSsUfH.jpg

Were you OP? Hope you or they are recovering, and that bill is quite reasonable.
I’m not the OP just saw that on Reddit and made me think of all the social media posts I’ve seen of American hospital bills. I’m fine and in fact in Wellington the ambulance is free so the bill would be $0. Which means you don’t get a bill to share online. I’ve had to learn to call an ambulance or go to the doctor without worrying about the cost. Last week we called one just because my partner was feeling faint, turns out it was low blood sugar, but there was no cost and the EMTs were happy to be there to help.
That's a cheap ambulance bill. I just had an urgent care and emergency room visit for my littlest one. The bill is coming in the mail soon and my financials are about to get wrecked and I have insurance. The American system is ROUGH!
