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?
No, this is just wrong. There is a reason most jobs where your body needs to be in good condition require, and pay for, yearly (or more often) checkups.
There are incredibly common deadly illnesses that can be found very easily by quick checkups. Heart and lung diseases, many types of cancer, and so on. And this would be even better and more worthwhile if the infrastructure was designed for it.
And the whole point of doctors is that they know better than you do whether you are healthy or not. Telling people to not go to the doctor when they are "healthy" doesn't make any sense. What is the doctor for then?
To make an ATM out of you.
