Coronavirus: Man receives $3,500 medical bill for test after returning to US from China
A Miami man has received a nearly $3,500 medical bill after getting coronavirus tests following his trip to China.
Osmel Martinez Azcue returned from a work trip last month to China and discovered he was feeling flu-like symptoms. Worried about the coronavirus, the man decided to go to a Florida hospital to get tested, according to the Miami Herald.
Testing revealed Mr Azcue had the flu, not the coronavirus. But his limited health insurance left him with a bill of $3,270 two weeks after his test. He will be responsible for $1,400 of that bill.
"How can they expect normal citizens to contribute to eliminating the potential risk of person-to-person spread if hospitals are waiting to charge us $3,270 for a simple blood test and a nasal swab?" Mr Azcue told the newspaper.
Mr Azcue previously had insurance through the Affordable Care Act. He picked that insurance as he makes $55,000 through his job at a medical-device company, and it does not provide a health insurance plan.

$3500很多老美绝对一下掏不出来。
看什么样的保险，实际付的钱会比3500低很多

美国应该立法要求医院明码标价，而且禁止给不同的人不同的价格。

确诊了想治愈的话，估计要 bankrupt ~~~
这是均贫富的一种手段。先吃虾，然后告诉你100刀一只。没钱的一刀一只，无家可归
者适用。银行还有存款，对不起这钱要交。硬是不交没关系，一刀卖给收债专业户，让他们对付你。收债专业户平均收到2刀，这也是挣头。

被美帝洗脑严重者确认。不交怎么样？
我就上次住院要我付5000多刀，直接和他们说没钱，讨债公司电话我又被我怂回去。老子就是没钱，你能那我怎么样？我存款8位数美刀。从来不用信誉。这种东西都是骗
loser的。
老美是文化洗脑的先行者，先告诉你，信誉第一，然后高层都谎话连篇。然后傻不拉几的老百姓follow信誉。哈哈。很好笑。
