I have stayed in the US for a decade. And I can vouch on the insane medical expenses. One can't survive in that country without a medical insurance. That's why most of their medical services even simple things like a visit to doctor for regular checkup has to be paid by the insurance. Either it's a full pay or co pay.
In our country, one can easily survive without a health insurance. The regular services like doctor's visit, small treatments, prescription medicine etc are affordable by most people. Only if it's an expensive treatment or hospitalization, it would pinch you and put you in deep financial stress if you don't have an insurance coverage.
