Comparing a hospital stay with a pricy hotel stay is deceptive. The 2 types of services are by no means related. It's an utterly meaningless comparison.
Having seen a seizure I would definitely call an ambulance if my kid had one for the first time.
Since you picked SF let's talk about that. You may take home 80% but then you pay state income tax, sales tax, real estate taxes etc.
In SF you are more apt to be paying 40% than 20 in total.
Then your premiums for health insurance for a family. The average family pays 5,714 in premiums not including actual health care costs.
Then you have to consider the situation of those who are less fortunate. In Europe it's a slide down a slope. Here it's a drop off a cliff.
