I'm from Canada. I understand most of the words you are saying, but when you put them together in that order, I cannot comprehend what you're trying to say. It SOUNDS like you're saying you got charged over $15,000 for minimal overnight care in a hospital. But I know that can't be what you're saying-- because that would be fucking retarded.
I went back to Canada as a non-resident, which means I wasn't covered by health care. I had a heart scare, and went to the emergency room. I was immediately admitted, asked a bunch of serious questions, given an EKG, had blood taken, had an actual doctor talk to me about my medical history. I was given an IV, put on observation for a couple hours, and released. The cost? $250, which they didn't even make me pay-- they just suggested that I should probably catch up in my health care payments when I got back to Canada.
So yeah, fuck American capitalist bullshit. It's broken.
