<prompt> Human: Im on mobile so I apologize for formatting issues It was Sunday and I visited the ER because all other doctors were closed. I didnt know the cost of ER in the US. Note that I come from a 3rd world country in Asia. The front desk knew that I dont have any insurance, and they didnt notify me how much the emergency visit will cost before registering me. It wasnt even a busy day.The ER visit was very brief; it was for a nasal congestion problem, no life threatening problems. The doctor only inspected my nostrils for a few seconds, ask about my condition and medical history, look through the medications that I was taking, told me to stop taking my current medicine, and prescribed some medicine. No tests of any kind. No expensive equipment used.Its very frustrating to be charged 6000 for a visit that doesnt even cost them 60.Since Im not from the US, they told me that I MAY qualify for a program that reduces the bill to 800, which I personally think is still too expensive. Theres still a huge chance that Im not qualified.I have no insurance that can be used in the US.Anyone have any advice on what I can do?  <response>: You went to the EMERGENCY room for nasal congestion?
