It&#x27;s wild to see people in this thread defending that the family &quot;only&quot; had to pay either $7K (or $18K with the ambulance).<p>Stockholm syndrome at its finest.

If you’re wondering what the national cost of delivering an average of 18 doses (article’s figure) of this stuff, sans other expenses, at the rate paid per dose in this case, is against the low-side estimate of 7,000 venomous snake bites, it’s about $900,000,000&#x2F;yr.<p>[edit] Well actually 18 is the median, so technically the figure <i>could</i> be way higher or way lower than that. Probably a decent ballpark figure, still.

For profit-driven &quot;health care&quot; org&#x27;s, Pay Or Die products with a natural monopoly are the Holy Grail.

The title is somewhat misleading, since it implies the family paid that much. From near the bottom of the article:<p>&gt;Brigland’s family paid $7,200, their plan’s out-of-pocket maximum.
