And not go bankrupt in the process.
I heard a 1950s Johnny Dollar radio show not too long ago (”the insurance investigator with the action-packed expense account”).
One item on his expense account was, “$18 for a night in hospital after getting beaten up.”
Even if the inflation multiplier were 25 times, that’s still only $450 for a night in the hospital. It was $5,000 here five years ago.
Another example, had a case here ten years ago when a man went to the emergency room for a bad cut. They put some disinfectant and a band aid on it. Over $600.
