Keepin' the politics out of it, I'll accede to your observation on the disparity in costs.
We had a busted appendix episode just about this time last year. There was a complication from Crohn's that necessitated going in a second time. 12-day stay, two surgeries instead of one.
$84 grand, please. This for a child graduating from college whose coverage under her mother's plan dropped about five days aftr the first surgery, and who didn't want to pay for COBRA. ("I never get sick in the summer!" she said. I can still hear those words clearly.) Well, mister, you can bet I got her paperwork filled out so that she, in her drug-induced haze could sign them and a check, and got her COBRA coverage started up.
Later complications and two follow-up surgeries(DVT, adhesions that twisted the bowel, and reconnecting the bowel to get rid of the ostomy put in in the second surgery, in that order), she ran up a grand total of about $200k. And she grumbles that her part of that is $7500. But she didn't grumble about paying the COBRA after I explained that the $2500 over several months paid for the other $192,500. A bright kid, but sometimes it takes ball bat to open her eyes.
I couldn't imagine how I'd have started out in life with a bill like $200k hanging over my head.
