Healthcare in the US * 1
    #26166759 -

Wtf.
Why is it so hard to get decent healthcare in the US.
Enrollment periods.
Ridiculous monthly payments.
Shitty hospitals and staff.
Obscene wait times and appt times.

Anybody else fed up with the medical community here in good ole USA

are you just looking for a check-up?

go to the ER if you have an emergency.

but either way, yes i agree. healthcare in the USA is for-profit. nothing else.

Got a hernia from some heavy lifting at work. Waiting at the local urgent care for about 3 hours.
And ya for sure $160 just to be seen without insurance. Which I find to be most likely inexpensive compared to others here.
Lucky for me it’s work related so the ins shouldn’t be a problem

yeah urgent care is a joke. you can apply for assistance to pay for the $160. just ask about it. most likely have to provide your income and shit but hey if you can get a reduced bill, i say go for it.

Funny to see this thread, I just came back from the doctors this morning.  Free of charge of course.

well, not free of charge. you didnt pay for it out-of-pocket, yes. but you pay taxes, right?

also, The Canada Health Act does not cover prescription drugs, home care or long-term care or dental care.

what was the reason for your visit today?

I've had pain in my lower right abdomen that hasn't subsided for a week plus.  Getting an ultrasound.  Also, prescription renewals.

How are the actual services in Canada? Competent docs? Here in the US it’s hit or miss with the staff

Usually, decent health care requires a job, and "expensive" is relative. But speak for yourself, I have awesome health care.

...the whole experience is (and is as) a profound piece of knowledge.  It is an indellible experience; it is forever known.  I have known myself in a way I doubt I would have ever occurred except as it did.

...most subjects find the experience valuable, some find it frightening, and many say that is it uniquely lovely.

In my experience the doctors I've seen thoughout my life have all been competent.  My family doctor graduated Magna Cum Laude.

Nursing staff has been good too.  If you're an asshole I'm sure they would snap back though.

For most of the normies out there, an operating system is just a bootloader for Google Chrome.

And I don't know what the mantis is praying for
But he's probably just thanking the Lord
That he don't live in a home
And he don't got a phone
And he don't sit around all angry and bored

I assume you don't have a good job? 
What do you do?
Get a good job with a good company that has good benefits and you'll never have to complain much about healthcare again.

health care sucks ass here
if i had used my jobs healthcare and gotten fired I wouldn't have health care right now

how the fuck you going to take something away from someone that they'd most likely need when they aren't working and then charge them 100-1000x more than what you'd charge a cat or dog?
