Literally way harder than any other country I've lived in. Nobody is taking new patients
It doesn't make sense because I thought everybody here tries to not go to the doctors as much as possible because of the costs
USA literally has a higher doctor per capita than all the other countries I've lived in too
What gives?
Do checkups not cost money? Last time I saw a doctor here, it was in an urgent care clinic for an issue I thought may have needed immediate prescriptions (I did not need anything at all) and it costed me a bit over 200 dollars
I was expecting at least 300 for the check up
Medications and treatments like dialysis have lobbyists and advertising. But if you just need to change your diet, take over the counter medications, or just have bed rest, that's not going to make the pharmaceutical industry money.
Insurance can't charge monthly for that. So you have ridiculous co-pay costs or a flat fee for the doctor's time.
No they do, around $250 for my last checkup
