$2,200.00 VISIT TO THE ER
Nobody plans on being sick, and therefore nobody budgets for illness. Now, even small events like a simple visit to the ER can cause financial hardship. The average cost for an ER visit has risen to $2,200 – a massive unplanned expense for most Americans.
Dr. Drew Pinsky, world-renowned television host who has treated tens of thousands of patients, remarks on the sad financial state of the healthcare system:
"The US healthcare system has been taken captive by Big Hospitals, Big Pharma, Insurance, and regulators, which have made it the most expensive healthcare system in the world. Sick patients who enter often face a horrible choice: lose their financial security or refuse treatment.
Worse, they make their decisions in a state of pain and distress while being poorly educated on various treatment options and their necessity.”
What can be done?
About 75% of all doctor, urgent care, and ER visits “are either unnecessary or could be handled safely and effectively over the phone or video,” according to statistics from the American Medical Association and Wellness Council of America.
