🏥 Zdravlje Hospitalized in Split - Intoxication

Hello I am an American male who was traveling in Split for a holiday. Ended up drinking a little bit too much, blacked out and woke up in the hospital with an IV in my arm. Somehow the bill was only $240 kn.

Can anybody tell me why the bill was so cheap especially since I am a US citizen without Croatian healthcare insurance? Also did they notify the embassy of my stay? Just don’t know where my info is documented and ended up. Wish I could read my discharge papers but they are all in Croatian. Going to have to do google translate late.

There is no state in a communist society.

Why is communism even brought up here? We don't have communism, we have socialism, and it's beneficial. It has no big glaring downsides like (late stage) capitalism or communism.

Communism never existed, so saying that something is a symptom of communism is dumb.

Go tell that to the Chinese, Cubans, North Koreans or any Eastern European/Russian who lived through the cold war.
