    This should be illegal. If you have insurance you should be able to go any and everywhere to get the help you seek, need, REQUIRE. Dialysis or die⁉️ And prices should be the lowest available. $235 vs $14000. Should be illegal.

    It depends on how long it’s be going on occasionally surgery is required, my mother was in the hospital for 41 days after her intestine burst. Her bill was over 1 million, but she carried insurance that paid all of it

    I work in dialysis, for a non-profit dialysis company. Im the biomedical equipment tech/maintenance guy, etc and I'm over technical dept for two dialysis clinics in my region. We use the same Fresenius 2008T dialysis machine. Cost per treatment is high and they usually ate dialyzed 3 times a week for 4 hour's each time. More and more people are requiring dialysis.

    The real question is why healthcare is free in all first world countries exept America!
    This man has a private insurance, which pays for nothing.
    People pay taxes, but get nothing in return.
    Who sold this system to Americans?

    Even for out of network, the cost should not be this high. I can understand 2x what the insurance company pays , but NOT half a million dollars. How is that even moral?

      It saves 2 trillion. The debt will still increase with this shitcare system. Republicans helped with blowing a hole into deficit with tax cuts for rich. They're about as conservative as they're Christian.
