a bit of both
1.   obviously mylife was worth that as that is what the hospital charged 
2.  healthcare is priceless which is one reason why i think it should not be a for profit business
3.  I am not saying i was over or undercharged, merely that i was charged an arseload of money for trying to stay alive.  I don't feel it should be a business to measure out just how much you are willing t pay to stay alive.
I am not sure exactly what i am getting at or what you are really asking as i was just showing a substantial amount of money for a short term service that your country would have probably have covered easily.
