At the risk of once again being told what an idiot I am, healthcare in America sucks. Thanks for the present though, mom. We need all the help we can get.

By the way, feel free to tell me how great my Photoshop skills are. Some people on Lemmy love to tell me how I’m not sick and just making it up for sympathy.

Sorry… is there a community for “I’ve been pissed off for months now?”

At least Mayo has decent healthcare most of the time, that's at least what I hear from my colleagues. The elephant in the room in the US is not only the affordability and access, sadly it's also very often the quality.

As someone who has changed roles from an actual healthcare provider to a healthcare economist/manager in international health(amongst others)I am often appalled by the qualify some US facilities provide - while others offer astonishing levels of care. And often the former are the more expensive ones.

Mayo totally fucked me over to the point that I got a partial refund. I was there 10 days, spent maybe an hour seeing people.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

damn, sorry to hear that. Most of our clients are pretty happy with them,but they usually are somewhat VIP so mileage may vary.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I hope you get better soon. Is there any sort of cheap yet good insurance you would qualify for, based on e.g your location, disabilities, income, or anything?

I must admit I don't know a whole lot about the whole system (though a fair bit more than your average European), but I do know there are cases where you can get good health insurance for cheap. Though I'm sure you've already looked into what your options are.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

We do have good insurance. That's how fucked up everything is.

Happy birthday!

You make Lemmy a more pleasant place to be, not just with your many contributions of great memes, but more importantly with your overall friendly manner. You make a real difference. Thank you.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Thank you, that's very kind of you!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I certainly enjoy their posts/comments.

Happy birthday! Sorry healthcare in your country is so piss poor.

Why is email address underlined??

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Its not. Its the part of navigation button gestures

[–] [email protected] -5 points 4 months ago

That's fucking infuriating

On the bright side, at least you went to one of the most trustworthy medical institutions there is.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You'd think so, wouldn't you? They didn't help me at all. They were so shitty, I got a partial refund.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Oh damn, I was not expecting that.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

Hope you’re doing well! Best wishes!

American healthcare sucks unless you’re rich

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

Crazy how you managed to photoshop the decimal point to the left by so many digits!

(I know, it's only a partial payment)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm so confused

Why are you pissed?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Take your pick:

Long-term illness bringing us down to one income.

High medical bills.

Having to use birthday money to help pay down those bills.

People on the internet telling me I'm lying about it all...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Doesn't your work cover it?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

Employer provided healthcare only covers about %54 of Americans. So in general it's not a safe assumption.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Doesn't your work cover it?

  1. Probably not
  2. Definitely not with no job
[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

The issue is that health insurance shouldn't be tied to employment. This could very well be a payment plan for a much larger bill, so op is probably paying off $200 a month over a year or more.

Not everyone is so blessed to have a low deductible plan. Most people have high deductible plans. Having a deductible of $6k or more is as good as being uninsured. Most people can not deal with paying $6k for an emergency - it can zero out folks bank accounts or be a hamper on their month to month budget.

I haven't been able to handle a job since last year, unfortunately.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh

Get well soon. God speed

Your birthday is also your cake day? Convenient! Happy both!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

my birthday is near my cake day. I got the money a little early.
