When my parents came to visit a few years ago, but they were well into their 80's we did a car trip down the eastern coast of the US. In N.Carolina dad was feeling very unwell and we took him to the hospital where he received excellent treatment, x-rays, diagnosis and medication - no long wait in emergency either. They took details of his insurance and billed them directly. We were all very impressed. He felt that the service he got was superior to what he would have received at home and we didn't feel that it was over the top cost-wise either - don't remember now but we thought it was quite reasonable.

Perhaps because it was in a small town, and maybe things would have been different in a big inner-city hospital, but overall we were impressed, but thankful they had insurance.
