Like you're presumably unconscious and at no point ever consent to be liable for the cost, and yet people get billed. It's like if someone just came and did a bunch of work on your house when you were asleep and then sent you a bill.

Like, just wack. It's like if you passed out in Walmart and an employee put a cell phone in your pocket, took your money, then gave you a receipt, and people were like "hmm yes that's legit"

Here’s another one. An involuntary 72 hour psychiatric hold costs, on average, over $2,000 without insurance. And it can go a lot higher than that depending on where you go.

$7,000 twenty years ago. And the night in the ER was another $7,000.
