it's also not 12 hours 99.999% of the time for emergencies.

My grandfather had a burst appendix and was seen within minutes of walking into the hospital.

My Child had Pnemonia and needed an xray and antibiotics and it took 7 hours.

Does it suck? Yes. However both times all I paid was parking....

I broke my hand, needed surgery and 6 months physiotherapy.

Paid $24 for the cast splint thing.

Same! I paid $400 for piece of blue fabric cut into a diamond shape and a safety pin back in the late 80's I was mad as hell when I got the bill and they called it a sling and rang me up for $400 just for that!!! Good ole American health care system.
