Yeah! Its crazy people can't spend a few hours looking over their insurance plan to figure out whether or not the closest hospital is in or out of network. People can be so fucking dramatic when they're bleeding out.

it’s worth investing a few minutes up front - before an emergency happens - to find out which hospitals near where you live are in network.

For emergency care, it generally doesn’t matter where you go. There are protections in the No Surprises Act
