In America, $8k would be a low figure too lol. I think we paid $12k and the original bill was $40-50k. This is pre-COVID so I imagine it is worse now.

Key thing is after insurance. It really depends on the hospital and the company, But your probably right. Apparently a CT scan in the ER alone costs 6k.

That was my after-insurance cost ($12k). The $40k-$50k was pre-insurance.
