As an American I’m curious what it’s like if you need to go to the doctor and how much you pay from say a broken arm to general checkup. Also list what country please

    China

    I broke my foot during the previous spring festival. They called the surgeon back from his holiday, opened a operating room especially for my surgery, got a private room and my wife could stay in the room with me on a extra bed, 6 days in hospital. Total cost around €120 including x-rays, medication etc. The only thing I had to pay for extra was lunch at 2€.

    General checkup is 50 RMB which is 7 US$.
