    Considering that a US hospital will charge you a few grand for even looking in their direction these days, $2,500.22 for something serious, like seizures, sounds like a steal :(

      True, but:

      Once on land, in Florida, Wasney was taken by ambulance to the emergency room at Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale, where he incurred thousands of dollars more in medical expenses.

        Well, obviously, he should have refused evacuation.

        The specifics in this situation matter, but it sounds like the cruise ship provided a reasonable bill.
