Norwegian man charged $100,000 for treatment of a snake bite in U.S.

Norwegian man Dag-Are Trydal was charged more than $100,000 for treatment for a rattlesnake bite. When HLN’s Robin Meade heard about it she said, "My jaw was dropping down. Yeah. Yeah, this is way too much. Excuse me, I would like a refund." People in Norway were shocked, as treatment in Norway would have been on the house. Some commenters in the Local called it typical hospital fraud in the U.S.
