Mad_Cyril that depends. First you have to have a Dr. At the moment is feels like most practices aren’t accepting new patients. It also depends on what type of Doc ur seeing. A GP that has accepted you as a patient will usually see you in 48-72 hours. A specialist on the other hand can take weeks or months to get you in. I had a guy try to tell me 6 month wait for something over the summer. Our healthcare system is so unbelievably awful outsiders can’t possibly understand it.

      zackster Yes, this absolutely is a stretch

      Hey @Homegrove, zackster has said that Putin won’t do anything in Finland - so you can guys all rest easy now and not bother joining NATO.

        Mad_Cyril plus a $2000 deductible on top. And $2000 is low. Most people have anything from $5000 to $10,000 they have to pay out of pocket before their insurance kicks in. Also, your insurance dictates what type of docs you can see. If you have HMO you are basically fucked and can only see the most basic of physicians. Its so fucked up.

            My American friends husband broke his arm a few years ago and I couldn’t believe how much they had to pay themselves even though they had health insurance. If I recall. It was over $2000. Is there any help if you’re on a low income and can’t really afford health insurance or are they forced to take on a massive dept to get fixed. On the other hand my mother is on a specialist cancer drug which costs 5k per month and is completely free.

              Homegrove absolutely none of that would go away without NATO.

              Why not? I just paid for some if it with this.

                  zackster that money is not going to go to affordable healthcare before a communist revolution in your country.

                      What Zackster isn’t telling you is that his work covers his healthcare meaning he spends his extra disposable on tenant evicting techno.

                      Lol @ you’ll never get what you want so at least let your army secure my borders.

                        Good to see Ukraine getting some love!

                        zackster Your shit healthcare isn’t a zero sum game with respect to NATO. You spend more per capita than other developed nations for sub-par coverage because your government has chosen private profit over quality of care. You need a reorganization of the system, not more funding.

                            Plus because Yanks are more likely to be lard-arses.

                                Is Biden as bad as Bush & Cheney now when it comes to blood on his hands. I mean a few of us predicted his term would be bad but holy fuck.

                                  Funky Its a fair question but I’d say those two are still in a class all their own.

                                    I like how the US is calling for restraint in Ramallah whilst signing off $89 trillion dollars worth of weapons.

                                    Mad_Cyril I was checking this out out of morbid curiosity.

                                    But actually enjoyed the history lesson.
