Halloween and trick-or-treat are on their way. It is estimated that the average American will spend $36.40 on candy for a national total of $4.1 billion. Americans will spend another $4.3 billion on decorations and $4.4 billion on costumes. This totals $13.5 billion for the nation, with the average American spending $115.14 on Halloween.
Compared to Halloween spending, the average insured American spends between $30 to $75 for an urgent care visit for a sore throat, the flu or COVID-19. An uninsured or cash-paying patient can spend between $184 and $365 for a visit to urgent care.
