A Boston woman diagnosed with COVID-19 was slapped with a $34,927.43 medical bill, Time magazine reports.
Danni Askini, like 27 million other Americans, was uninsured when she first entered the hospital after doctors initially diagnosed with pneumonia and sent her home.
Over the next several days, Time reports, Askini saw her temperature spike and drop dangerously, and she developed a cough that gurgled because of all the liquid in her lungs.
After two more trips to the ER that week, Askini was given a final test on the seventh day of her illness, and once doctors helped manage her flu and pneumonia symptoms, they again sent her home to recover.
She waited another three days for a lab to process her test, and at last she had a diagnosis: COVID-19.
President Trump meanwhile has signed congressional measures ensuring free diagnostics testing.
