I was charged $12,000 to stay in an ER room while doctors did test after test on my 3 day old baby. We never got any results given to us and in the end we were told none of those tests were needed.

An X Ray, two spinal taps, a dozen blood draws - not a single result. We went for low blood sugar. The hospital kept giving him tests so they could keep charging us. But that's what you get when healthcare is for profit.

Yeah the system we're using right now in the US is amazing. /s
