offer to pay in cash and see how much they quote.
First they got to put you in $50 paper gown. Then feed you 2 $50 aspirins. Then rent you a $75 wheel chair. Then have a couple of useless nurses come in and administer a breathing test that costs $100. Then they hire a pusher for the wheel chair for $60. Then they take a $100 xray. Then charge you $65 to discharge from the hospital.
Now comes the DR. fees!

Just wait a year. You’ll be getting albania/zimbabwe quality care right here in the USA.
I live in “third world” Indonesia, I needed an X-ray of my teeth for some work I was planning to have done. I walked into one of the many private hospitals in Jakarta, so clean you could eat your dinner off the floor. I had no appointment nor had I ever been in the hospital before, in five minutes I had registered as a patient, ten minutes later I was getting the X-ray done. I was all done within half an hour.
I paid cash as I left, the bill was $25.
Get the government out of health care and you’ll be amazed how accessible it becomes.
