Stay stronk Rex

America. We have quite a few healthcare plans here

2020-03-12 16:58:38 UTC  

I like the system Norway has. I’m originally from Canada and used to long waiting times etc, but in Norway you pay a small fee to see the doctor then the rest is covered

2020-03-12 16:59:02 UTC  

I dont think I’ve waited longer than 10 mins in emerg but then again I live in a rural area

2020-03-12 16:59:12 UTC  

I'm personally on medicare/medicaid because it fits my needs

2020-03-12 16:59:25 UTC  

It just gets hard to find doctors sometimes

2020-03-12 16:59:28 UTC  

who are all of these noobs?

2020-03-12 16:59:41 UTC  

U have to apply to and qualify for those things tho

2020-03-12 16:59:47 UTC  

@Jackiroonie
Much better than our current system Im sure
Most nationalised health doesnt let you pay upfront for doctors, in the UK you have to buy private health cover and it's literally just a way to skip the queue because you still use the NHS to deal with your health

2020-03-12 16:59:59 UTC  

I went through like, 3 eye doctors in 3 years cuz 2 of them stopped taking medicare/medicaid

2020-03-12 17:00:04 UTC  

Yeah

2020-03-12 17:00:13 UTC  

Its fucks them that's why they like to avoid it

2020-03-12 17:01:11 UTC  

@Cortah tell me more about the wonders of the free market

2020-03-12 17:01:28 UTC  

the wonders of corona

2020-03-12 17:01:41 UTC  

@DerJesus
I've been constantly telling people the markets were going to crash and the reasons why for a while now even on this server

2020-03-12 17:01:42 UTC  

The wonders of mass panic lol

2020-03-12 17:01:52 UTC  

That screen shot isn't an argument

2020-03-12 17:01:54 UTC  

I'm just lucky to have health insurance <:retroSHRUG:630043899238416384>

2020-03-12 17:02:06 UTC  

America was due for their next recession period anyways it’s been a decade

2020-03-12 17:02:08 UTC  

Also America is way less free market than most people actually believe

2020-03-12 17:02:27 UTC  

@Cortah yeah I love this system tbh. It weeds out the folks going to the hospital for mundane things. When I went in for a small procedure I only waited a week for the consult and the next day I was in surgery. It was a small thing but Imm still glad it got taken care of as quickly as it did. And Im not even a full resident here lolol the whole ordeal costed me maybe $50

2020-03-12 17:03:04 UTC  

In Canada it would have been free but I would have waited probably a month for everything to be said and done

2020-03-12 17:03:09 UTC  

Yeah

2020-03-12 17:03:11 UTC  

$50???

2020-03-12 17:03:40 UTC  

I think Im guessing the conversion right?? Its around 300-400NOK

2020-03-12 17:03:53 UTC  

@DoctorFluffs
When doctors dont have to fill out massive amounts of paper work and can charge you upfront for costs it's way cheaper than going through insurance companies/governments

ur joookkkiingggg

2020-03-12 17:05:37 UTC  

I had to go to the ER and that shit cost me $500 for the lab tests alone

2020-03-12 17:05:54 UTC  

Always ask for an itemized bill

2020-03-12 17:05:54 UTC  

OOF I couldn’t imagine

2020-03-12 17:05:59 UTC  

Yeah in the UK you get told that xray screenings are too expensive

2020-03-12 17:06:14 UTC  

And sent home with some painkillers

2020-03-12 17:06:33 UTC  

In Canada

2020-03-12 17:06:34 UTC  

You have to pester them for months before being taken seriously and usually the damage is done by that time

2020-03-12 17:06:44 UTC  

you get the xray in about an hour

2020-03-12 17:06:47 UTC  

for free

2020-03-12 17:06:47 UTC  

yay

2020-03-12 17:07:10 UTC  

Canada is just cheaper in general

2020-03-12 17:07:18 UTC  

For me in Canada it would take me like.. 2 hours to get an xray

2020-03-12 17:07:20 UTC  

Why do you think people go there for insulin?
