WELL DUH!?
I wonder if he just noticed because it's been capitalist hellscape for a long time now. Welcome to the trenches, fellow working class member. Your ability to have basic healthcare is based entirely around your ability to scrape enough money together between hospital visits. Failure to do so will have lifelong impacts, so I suggest you start eating cereal for dinner to save some cash for the next time you need basic human help.
Maybe it was the Nestlé hospital?
Why, yes.
Feature not a bug
Yeah but the market sets the price. This is capitalism. If you want to change the price, don't go there. Pick a cheaper clinic. There are plenty of hospitals. It's up to the consumer to price shop, emergency or not. I'm sure the Mayo clinic is making razor thin margins.

Dude went the the mofo Mayo Clinic for dehydration. Gets a $5000 bill.
Surprised Pikachu face.
That amount isn't much more than our shitty local emergency rooms charge for walking in the door.
