Wow, that's some pretty hefty fees. I had throat surgery at a public hospital, and I ended up being about $AUD500 ($US375) out of pocket. If I had opted to go fully private (I have no health insurance) it would have cost around $AUD1500 ($USD1125). This covers the surgery plus an overnight stay in hospital.

Sounds like the USA hospital system is completely fucked up.
