TLDR: How do i help others from paying a 50k hospital bill and what needs to change.
Recently i was admitted to the hospital. Being a nurse I know how much work goes into taking care of each patient and how intense some patients are. To save a long story I was admitted for about 3 days pending an MRI on an observation floor. I wasn’t an intense patient with alot of interventions. Most of the patients on this floor are walking, talking, and in no acute distress, I only interacted with my nurse twice a day to get the meds i needed.
When i left the hospital and received the bill I was absolutely SHOCKED. My hospital bill was close to $50,000. Thankful i had insurance and met my deductible. Sadly this is not the case for many people. I could not imagine how stressful this would have been if i had to pay that entire amount, or even a percentage of it.
My question is how do we change this system. What are the needs and things that an everyday person can do to help others with these issues. I want to make a change in this system but i dont know where to start. Thank you for reading this.
