That’ll be $500
that's five times the yearly maximum cost for healthcare here
Can I move in with you?
depends, are you okay with waiting seven months for actual help?
i got a herniated disc a few years ago and while i did get something for the pain after a few weeks, by the time i got booked for an mri it had healed on its own.
That's hilarious. I (USA) need an endocrinologist. Best appointment I can get is January.
yeah, I (USA) have been trying to get in to see this internal medicine specialist in Stockton for five years now. His wait list is that long.
We have a professional relationship as well so i know he's not just blowing me off, but i'm getting tired boss. I think he's just triaged me to the end of the list (i survived this long) until I tell them I'm out of patience.
Keep in mind that waiting for 7 months is better than not going at all. lol
Many Americans sinply don't go unless it's an emergency.
NHS?
A single trip to the psych office has a $200 co-pay per visit where I am, and that's with insurance.
Even the people in the US who recognize their issues and want help for them are priced out.
i paid 150kr per visit (≈11€) and i when i hit 1200 they sent me a card i can show instead of paying, valid for however many months are left until it's been a year since the first visit.
That doesn't sound too bad (yes I'm American 😭)
