00:00I'm an elder millennial who just got my first hospital bill after my first time ever staying in the hospital.

00:06This is extortion. This is why everyone hates our medical system.

00:09$41,000.

00:12So, I was in the hospital for less than 24 hours for high blood pressure.

00:17I had no surgery, no CAT scan, no MRI, nothing of that nature.

00:22My bill is absolutely ridiculous.

00:25The labs and chemistry, $10,000, $2,000 for labs, blood culture, $4,400.

00:35And then, if you look at the back, it gets even worse.

00:38You have $12,000 for emergency room care, $1,000, $3,000 for these observation room visits, $800 each for physical therapy and PT.

00:51Like, this is insane.

00:52This is extortion in every single way.

00:54I don't know how people do this.

00:57This is my first time and I'm shook.
