'America truly is a third world country in a Gucci belt': Viral video exposes the staggering price of a four-month stay in a US hospital for COVID-19 - with a total cost of $2.8 MILLIONTikTok account
@letstalkaboutbusiness shared the total cost one person faced for a four-month hospital stay due to COVID-19. The itemized list of charges includes $550,458 for respiratory therapy, $404,515 to cover intermediate ICU care, and an $324,349 ICU charge. There's also a $350,203.50 laboratory charge, a $397,632 charge for non-sterile medical and surgical supplies, and $110,375 for a pulmonary function test. Though the list is not a bill - and is likely the charge list before insurance - it has shocked commenters.
