Better insure your health!

American healthcare isn't cheap, but it's outrageously expensive if one isn't insured. Just look at the summary below:

It's my billing details for one and a half day at the Park City Hospital, including a night stay, a cat scan and a few other medical procedures, back in May following my bike accident.

The hospital billed my insurance for $13,494.20, but was only allowed to receive $2,349.25 from the company. This means that their asking price was almost six times more than reasonable, if we can call “reasonable” the amount charged.

This also suggests that a person without any health insurance would be liable for the full amount billed. Something is very wrong with that picture!
