I am a student in US from India and I still don't understand how this whole stuff works. I have university insurance and was still billed 1500 dollars for once I had to go to hospital urgently.
One of my friends went back to India for a dental surgery instead of doing it in US (Even with the flight fare, it came out far cheaper). And I have been to the best hospitals of India. I can stake my name for the fact that service in the US-based hospitals is same in quality with the best in India. Except they are less likely to make you bankrupt.
I don't know the reasons behind this. But I am pretty sure the average Middle class American is getting royally effed by this system.
