Average cost per day for hospital stay in the US.

Ditto in Canada.

We do have a lot better treatments in this day, that is for sure. And all of that factors in. But the cost of a room should not have increased as much as it has.

So we went from $80 for ten days to $30,000 for ten days now? 9 doublings in 80 years. A doubling every 9 years. This amounts to 8% inflation over the entire 80 years whereas the actual inflation has not even been half that.

$30,000 for 5 days not ten. It would be $60,000 for 10. It also depends on what you ail from and what kind of treatment is needed and how much stuff you use. I think a tray of food here went from $8 to $10 a meal and the meals are horrible.

In the year 2025 so far, I have spent over 80 days in hospital ( three different admissions ) here in Toronto. ZERO costs to me. Universal health care is the standard in the rest of the First World, but not in the United States.
