Today, I went to a fast-food joint and ordered off the $1.00 menu to save money. Five hours later I go to the hospital with food-poisoning. After a whole day of not eating, crapping, puking, having tests, and a bunch of IV fluids, my $1.00 burger ended up costing me $2,000 in bills. Really. FML

A 24,000 medical bill IS possible and DOES occur in this society. And so many people have those days when the only thing we have in our pockets is enough money to afford cheap food as such.

That's a bunch of crap. There's no way in hell FOOD POISONING amounted to 24000! Food poisoning is pretty obvious and wouldn't require anywhere NEAR that amount. Some surgeries don't even cost that much!

And this is why we love America, the country where you pay taxes and don't get anything in return.

Being Canadian, I have to laugh a bit. America's health care system is so terrible. Still though, FYL, thats a lotta money.

The question is simply was the hamburger good enough that you would pay $24,001 for it again?

And that's what you get for eating fast food. You want to save money? Go grocery shopping and cook something.
