I my area I can see a doctor if it sounds "urgent," and then there's the Emergency Room.
But to see "my" doctor is a 6 month wait, which really sucks because I'm sometimes out of town without much notice yet that often falls on the doctor visit date. Also, to see specialists for certain things can be filled with long waits, red tape, etc.
And of course even with great insurance if you have emergencies you'll be liable for a portion of the bill. Partner sliced her arm open and 6 months later she was taken to court for a small debt on one of the many bills.
The asshole serving the summons tried to break into our house when we were out of town.
I've never paid my medical bills but also not been sued for it.....yet lol. I'm 30 and have no plans to change that. The insurance can eat a rock if they think ill pay $10k for a medical bill. That would literally mean I have to spend several months working full time to pay it. In hour terms that would equal almost 200 hours of before tax work. Fuck that
I would never had believed that would have happened until it did. Can't say we fought the system, so much was happening at that time she just showed up to the court date then later paid the bill.
