A friend of mine got food poisoning a little while back. He was from a different state, so we learned the hard way that his health insurance didn't cover any care out of the state. The ambulance ride (15 minutes) was 800 dollars. The cost for care (about 90 minutes...they wouldn't let him spend the night, even though he was still nauseous) was 2500 dollars.
3300 dollars for an ailment as common as food poisoning. I ask Noodle or Ivon or Koaku or anyone else from a country outside the US if they would expect to pay that much.

Nope, I wouldn't expect to pay that much in England. Thank God for the NHS!
