The problem is, there's no price caps on anything, so these profit seeking monopolistic predatory hospitals can charge whatever they want. Medical emergencies are the number 1 cause of bankrupcy in the US. The US spends 19% of GDP on medical with worse service and outcomes. this is more than twice the Euro average.
In the US, you need to be very careful with medical care. You should never ever go to a hospital unless you're absolutely sure that your life is in danger, and even then, you should research your condition first.
Also, don't have kids. The medical insurance premiums in the US are extremely high, if your employer isn't paying for it.
