Jules Weiss was treated for a copperhead snake bite. When she received the $55,000 medical bill she couldn't believe the price tag. “It’s not a number I can really wrap my head around,†Weiss said. Health insurance would bring the cost down to a few hundred dollars, a spokeperson said. However the woman’s insurance had just lapsed. Antivenom involves milking individual snakes and is a costly treatment.
