My Apple Watch was a few hundred bucks. My latest ER visit for tachycardia (idle heart rate over 100) came to over $3000, with health insurance. And all they did was tests.
For less than three grand, you could fly to Europe for a weekend, stay in a five star hotel, and have all the tests done while you're there.
(edit: I'm not in the US so no idea what is typical outside the stories I see in the media)
That $3k out-of-pocket cost was ECG, blood tests, urine tests, chest x-rays and talking to a doctor for 5 minutes. I wish I was kidding. Healthcare in America is an abomination.
I should, add, too, that the $3k cost was because I had insurance. The total bill came out to around $23,000 and I would have had to pay that if I didn't have insurance.
Seeing a cardiologist is a totally separate visit/bill.
Medical tourism might become a more common thing.
Medical tourism is a thing that people do. All the time.
You can pay top private clinics for medical services, and it can cost far less than the equivalent would cost in the US, even after insurance.
