A relative of mine recently went thru the same experience in Oregon.
$20,000 for one day via Emergency Care; lots of doctors involved and a
CatScan (sp.) She had medical coverage.
I know that when I head to the hospital, that I'm very, very sick and money
does not have much value to me if I die.
I understand your frustration with many aspects of The System.

(Diverticulitis is a common digestive disease particularly found in the
large intestine. Diverticulitis develops from diverticulosis, which involves
the formation of pouches (diverticula) on the outside of the colon.
Diverticulitis results if one of these diverticula becomes inflamed.)

Just got a bill for a 1 hour visit to an immediate care facility for
diverticulitis. $4500. I questioned everything they did at the time and
asked for cost (they had no idea) and they wondered why. This country is
broken.
That is all.
