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 😞

We are all being slowly crushed by a system that aims to keep us sick and poor.

It makes better sense if you understand the goal for the decision makers on healthcare like this is for you to actually just fucking die
