It's more than that though.

A couple of years ago I had a minor heart attack. I went to the emergency room and inside of 20 minutes later they were wheeling me into surgery to install 2 stents in my right coronary artery. That, plus 2 days in the hospital for observation, cost 70 thousand dollars.

The last night I was in the hospital they moved me from IC down to the regular ward at 11pm since according to the hospital rules they never release people right out of IC. I wasn't there very long as I was released at 9am. That part of the bill alone was almost a thousand dollars. There is just no way that parking me for a mere 10 hours in a shared room was worth 1k.
