Yeah

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

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

the wonders of corona

@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

The wonders of mass panic lol

That screen shot isn't an argument

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

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

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

@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

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

Yeah

$50???

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

@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

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

Always ask for an itemized bill

OOF I couldn’t imagine

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

And sent home with some painkillers

In Canada

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

you get the xray in about an hour

for free

yay

Canada is just cheaper in general

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

Why do you think people go there for insulin?

but that was a looooooong time ago

> you get the xray in about an hour
@Syenite
🇽 Doubt

@Syenite there's one case of corona in winnipeg

When I had appendicitus I got a CT in less than an hour

Damn

just one

And when I go to get blood work I rarely wait longer than ten minutes

Though our healthcare is pretty bare bones atm with all the tax cuts

Well appendecitis is life threatening, so that's understandable.

Here unless you were in a life threatening incident you're going to be waiting 2 hours minimum
