So, is it expensive to get stabbed in the US?
Very.
With fewer and fewer jobs giving health care in the United States, it’s bankrupting to have any medical condition. Hell, without coverage, my medications would cost me over $700 a month. So if you have anything saved up, it’ll be burned away in one ER visit. It’s why so many avoid taking an ambulance or even bother going in. Personally, I think I would rather die, than go to a hospital without insurance. Even with insurance, my co-pay is $100. Our country has become downright dystopian for the older with any health condition. Anymore I feel like the country is ran by the damn Ferengi.
Probably cost you upwards of $50k - $100k judging by what we've paid for far less intrusive "services."
Technically yes, but theres a lot of options to make it cheap. Government healthcare like medicare and medicaid for example.
