A Sweet Gentleman

I stand corrected.
We received a bill for my husband's trip to the French public hospital ER.

That was early February, 6 hours there.
1 lab test.
1 electrocardiogram
1 brain scan
Total: 297.74 euros ($322.42).
I've put the detail in the alt-text.

That's the bill with NO insurance.

I'm pretty, pretty, pretty sure it's still way below what people would pay in the US.

Detail of the bill from the ER of a French public hospital. It shows what you pay (in euros) when you have no insurance. Flat-fee Activity check-up (age 75+): 49.17 Supplement for insurance: 19.34 Flat-fee Normal technical (I guess the basic tests they do at the ER?): 99.69 Flat-fee ER: 19.61 Supplement biology (age 45+) (blood test): 55.50 Supplement scanner: 54.43

@aSweetGentleman It’s just slightly more than a routine GP visit without insurance (around $250).

@aSweetGentleman Seriously, all hospital bill items having fewer than 3-digit prices is wild after having spent more than 10 years in the US.

@aSweetGentleman I guarantee that would be at least $3k in the US

@aSweetGentleman si ça lui été arrivé aux US, ça aurait coûté une blinde, c'est ça ?

Il va bien ? c'était grave ?
