@jt_unanchored: In America, an ambulance ride can cost up to $3,000. In Japan, it's free. And it's not a one-off — it's the whole system. Having a baby here runs about $20K, and even with good insurance you're still out ~$2,700. In Japan, the government hands you a $3,400 grant that usually covers the entire birth — and they're rolling out a plan to make childbirth completely free. We're not moving for the cherry blossoms. We're moving so one bad day at the ER doesn't wipe out our savings. What's the most ridiculous medical bill you've ever gotten? 👇 #movingtojapan #medicalbills #costofliving #usavsjapan #expatlife
