you're in and out in 2 hours and you don't need an appointment. you're thinking of Canada, taconigger.

Doctors are only for daredevils and fags i.e. if you have a broken bone or some shit like AIDS
Michael Baker

>don't pay it
>bill goes to collections
>collections harass the shit out of you
>collections report your delinquency to a credit reporting bureau
>your credit is completely destroyed
>instant fail all background checks when trying to rent a house
>can't buy a house because can't get a loan
>if you already had a house, they sue for the money you legally owe and you are forced to sell your house to pay the loan
Jonathan Allen
Emergency medical doesn't go to collections. Pay attention.
Oliver Cruz
Sounds like Australia with fewer steps. Medicare covers all patient costs so the doctors all rort it
>Specialist at hospital: "I'll book an appointment to see you again in 6 weeks"
>6 weeks later
>Do you have a referral from your GP (family doctor)
>But I have an appointment
>The specialist won't see you without you without a referral
>But the specialist is the one who wanted to see me in 6 weeks
>You should have brought your referral
>What referral?
>From your family doctor
>But my family doctor isn't even involved in this
>You were told to bring a referral
>No I wasn't
>[Brief pause] Do you have a referral from your family doctor?
>I just told you...
>You first need to book an appointment with your family doctor to obtain a referral to see the specialist.
>Eventually see specialist...
>We just missed our panel meeting this week where we would have considered your treatment options so I'll book another appointment for you in 3 weeks.
>Don't you want to ask me any questions about my condition?
>No, just leave it with me.

becuase US has the most advanced medical technology on planet earth
US can extend a miserable life for years at astronomical cost
like 90% of health problems treated in US would be 3 month death sentences anywhere else
THAT is why health care is so expensive in US

Just don't pay lol. I have over 14k in medical debts from over 6 years ago. Never paid a dime, never will. The collection agencies have stopped calling. The situation has resolved itself.

American medicine is basically a demonic humiliation ritual. You aren’t cured and instead are forced to go into debt and pop pills that will get you more addicted. It’s proponents are Satanists, don’t be fooled by their flowery words.
Cooper Baker
looks like obongocare is a failure.
Aaron Bell
Did you fart? What was it? Bad burrito?
Christian Torres
Notice how they crumpled up the paper to make it appear real?
Adam Carter
Listen. The US government could establish a functioning universal healthcare system, but it'd rather enshrine itself as a gaggle of living gods and reduce every American to a serf in blind, mute servitude to and adoration of them.
Brayden Sullivan
lmfao even the state of the paper tells a story here
They crumpled it up thinking "no way I'm not paying that" then immediately realized they could get updoots posting it to social media
Kayden Carter
This is how it works since the person in OPs pic doesnt have insurance.
>17k bill
>no insurance
>dont pay bill
>they threaten you x 10
>uncle sam pays the bill
