Thank God for free health care!

Well, even tho we can all agree that health costs in the US are insane, treating snake bites isn't the easiest of tasks. You know you need to keep actual snakes in a lab to create antidote, right? Depending on the snake, it may be only a few places (or even just one) that actually carries the antidote, which probably has to be requisitioned and flown in.

Pretty soon you're talking about real money.

"Capitalism"

You're actually... justifying the cost...

There was a comedian once you did a joke about how it was cheaper to get a new kidney by flying to Spain, paying for the new kidney, living in Spain for 3 months during recovery and then flying back than it is to get it done in the US.

I'm just saying it's a bad example.

I recall reading that somewhere a couple months ago. Maybe 9gag.

That isn't the cost of a snake bite. I know someone that had a quadruple bypass and it cost 100,000 with a 7 day hospital stay. So, how can a snake bite cost more than a CABG?

Still healthcare in America is outta control.

While the health care system in the US is broke and we definitely need a health care reform, this bill is for someone who does not have insurance and should be applying for medicaid/medical as the bill shows.

That's insane. My friend got bit by the brown recluse spider and was charged about $10,000. They had three antibiotics running all day for a week.

When I go broke my hand, they wanted to charge $400 for x-rays & $200 for  consultation. I went to Mexico, and they did X-rays, consultation, surgery, cast and medication for $200 overall.
