I dont know where this person got their numbers, but the prices are WAAAAAAYYYYY off.
I had a relative need an Ambulance ride next year. less than 1/4th a mile to the hospital. the cost was over 5000 dollars.
last time I went to the emergency room, I got nothing but a chewable asprin, a bag of saline, a basic blood test and chest xrays and it was almost 40 grand.. and that was with the "filthy uninsured peasant" discount, which I know thats what the charts focused on, but its ridiculous how much more expensive it is with insurance, even if you dont see the cost to your wallet.
