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?
If you're trying to figure out what's wrong with you, insurance is not going to pay for diagnostics either. I learned that lesson the hard way and it discourages people from going to the doctor or, dentist for that matter because teeth and eyes are considered luxury plastic surgery or someting stupid, and subsequently using the pandora's box of insurance.
I'd rather die quickly then have to send my life savings to an extortionist racket that will bankrupt me within a week or two.
A general checkup is usually ok. Maybe the cost of a co-pay. But if they do any tests other than look and touch you're going to be on the hook for some or all of it. Pandora's Box o' Bills!
