My dad is in Australia visiting my sister and has managed to fall and break his leg 🤦🏼♀️ He went to get X-rays and they were like, we're SO sorry, you will have to pay cash and then get reimbursed by your insurance in the US.
Cash cost? $30.

Hope your father us doing better. Glad he was well taken care of!
I governi di destra hanno applicato politiche per favoreggiare strutture private a discapito del sistema nazionale in più abbiamo un grande problema di evasori fiscali (=mancato incasso di tasse) così, oggi, curarsi è diventato difficile per tutti... tanti rinunciano a farlo!
It was $75.
That would be anything between $300 and $30,000 here and nobody could tell you which until you stopped getting the bills months later. All 5 of them, one each from the x-ray machine, the rad-tech, the radiologist, the hospital facility, and the NP who walked by in the hall
Best wishes.
In the U.S., the everyone-for-themselves mentality is wearing thin.
But, the trans-national healthcare he's getting is tremendous. So, at least you know he's getting the best. :)
