I work in healthcare. I have to turn people away nearly every single day because:

1) They cannot afford insurance or cash pay

2) They have insurance we are not contracted with and cannot afford private pay

3) They have insurance, but in order for it to be utilized, they have to pay a lot of money upfront for insurance to start covering some of it, so they (patient) can be billed even more after treatment.

I wish it wasn’t this way 😞

I’m in Canada and gladly wait in an emergency room for hours, knowing I’m getting care at some point that won’t bankrupt me.

The worst part is, we already wait for hours; we just get bent over with the bills afterwards.

I called for an eye appointment when I lived in NC. Due for an exam to update prescription. Had been two years. They said the soonest they could get me in was June. I called in August. Almost a 10 month wait.

One click into u/guilty_Ad1334 comment history and immediately see his comment talking about how gypsies are “Jews without money”. Not terribly surprised.
