Я попал в отделение неотложной помощи в Испании: вот что произошло

Healthcare in Spain vs America, from two emergency room visits in Valencia and one broken ankle back home. What it cost, how long it took, and why nobody asked how I'd pay before treating me. I let an infection get so bad I was hallucinating, because after years of American medical bills I'd learned not to go in unless something was critical. When I finally walked into an ER here, there was no stack of paperwork and no financial office. They took my vitals, treated me, and I left within an hour with a full treatment plan. The second visit took under 30 minutes, including booking a specialist. I also get into why we ended up on private insurance instead of the public system, what that costs our family of four (under €3,000 a year), what nine prescriptions came to, and how that compares with what we paid in premiums and out of pocket costs in the US. At the end I tell you the full bill from my wife's broken ankle back home. If you're European and you've ever experienced American healthcare, I'd genuinely like to hear what it was like. And Americans, what's the bill you still think about?
