My kid has cystic fibrosis. The one main drug alone for that condition costs €350k per year. I pay €7.20 prescription fee for it.
The kid spent 4 months in the first year in hospital. Since it was our first child, both of us opted to stay in hospital with the kid in a one-patient room. I tried to figure out how much this was going to cost and the nurses couldn’t tell me. They sent me to the billing office (a tiny little room somewhere in a corner of the hospital, which was only staffed for an hour per day). The lady there told me not to worry about it. We never paid a cent for all of that.
Obviously, we don’t live in the USA, but in the apparent communist hellscape that is the EU.
