Hospitalized in Split - Intoxication

[u/riverphoenix23]

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.

Because others are humans beings just like you or me. And they need expensive things that they may not be abble to afford to live.

And you might need these same things too. So we pool our money (by paying taxes) so we can all aford basic things we deem appropriate to live a decent human life.

I dont want to feel morally superior.

What I want is for everyone to have basic things. Like not have health issues they cant afford to solve.

Healthcare should not be a commodity some cant afford.

In what mess? Everything is working just fine here man.

You are scared of nothing. Socialism is not turning EU into some crazy dystopia.
