I stand corrected.
We received a bill for my husband's trip to the French public hospital ER.

That was early February, 6 hours there.
1 lab test.
1 electrocardiogram
1 brain scan
Total: 297.74 euros ($322.42).
I've put the detail in the alt-text.

That's the bill with NO insurance.

I'm pretty, pretty, pretty sure it's still way below what people would pay in the US.
