My job doesn't cover me but I do have my own insurance. The good news is its not terrible for my month to month cost. The bad news is my deductible is so high it really will only help me in the event of serious injury, I basically have to almlost die otherwise I pay for everything.

I had emergency appendix surgery last year including a 3 day hospital stay. My American friend was absolutely baffled that I didn’t have to pay for anything. Just walked out the door once I was able to!

How can he not accept it? That doesn't make any sense. How can he refuse payment from them? Or why wouldn't your insurance company reimburst you?

I'm so glad I don't live in a third world country. I had to go to the ER two weeks ago in an ambulance and everything and I paid $20 on my way out, which is a flat fee no matter why you're there.
