Today, I received two bills for my ER visit when I fractured my elbow in Paris. As an "uninsured" foreigner (I have insurance, but not in France), I owe a total of 200Euro. That's it. My ER copay here at home is higher than that.

Several xrays plus quick, efficient, multilingual care - shockingly affordable. Amazing.

Would a French person feel the same way if they were hurt on vacation in the US and needed treatment? Absolutely not.

It serves as yet another reminder of how badly messed up the US "healthcare" system is.
