Cost of rent and emergency services

Property ObserverDecember 7, 2020

This tweet from ABC News had us fascinated this morning.

Tweeting at 6.55AM, it notes that the median rent in America is $871 per month. The median emergency room visit is at a cost of $1,233 per month.

They've sourced the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and the Census. 

Now I don't know about you, but we think that's pretty intense.

In Australia, the ABS puts our median monthly rent at $1,235 (based on median weekly rent of $285). If you're an Australian citizen, and you have your Medicare card, your care in emergency is covered for free.
