We need a running cost of Trump's medical care. Everyone needs to see how expensive this is.
Because he is going to recover and discuss how easy it was. But people need to understand what this type of care costs.
Presidents don't have co-pays or high deductible policies.

3. IMO his limo ride was leaving the hospital against medical advice and thus all medical charges
from that point on should be the sole payment responsibility of trump personally.

5. Sure, it was a campaign event.
But, like the cities forced to supply security for his rallies he arrived in AF1 to attend and every other entity he owes money. Nobody will ever see a cent of reimbursement.

4. It all depends on how the charges are coded...
Like does the sterilization costs of the entire AF1 & Marine 1 fleets and the sterilizing in an autoclave or scrapping of a head-of-state armored SUV get coded as Treatment or Palliative Care?
Seriously, there's no way he's not already into the 10's or even 100 million Dollars of expenses. The Yeller Submarine is a high maintenance baby. I hope his cult can afford it, because, the US Treasury sure as hell can't. |

8. Coming up with the true cost to taxpayers will not be easy.
It is not like you going to a non-VA hospital. His doctors, nurses, and technicians can't be counted because they make the same amount per day whether or not Trump is there. The suite he uses is there every day whether or not he is there but you can add the cost of the electricity. X-rays, scans, and MRI you could count the cost for the electricity and things like swabs. Blood tests, you can add the cost of needles, vials, and bandaids. Medicines you can count the amount the hospital pays for them. O2 and delivery means can be counted. Can't say for certain but the cost to taxpayers is probably less than 5% of how much you would pay in a non-VA hospital. Misc. like food you can count.

9. I guess what I was going for is what this type of care would cost a typically person
So multiple days in the hospital in what is really an ICU setting, the drug regimen he is on, etc.
