No~~body~~ kidney wants to work anymore

I do have government funded insurance so I will pay less than $200. Which I will only be able to afford if I pass Go.

Itemized hospital bill from the emergency room in the US. Listed are various services including IV, medications, and imaging. The costs range from $5 for an antinausea tablet to $500 for a pregnancy test and almost $7000 for a CT scan.

Long time ago I read, if you have trouble paying hospital bills, you should tell them and it's likely they can change it to instalments (or even reduce the bill, but that was for someone who didn't even have insurance)
