Look what I got to spend my birthday money on!

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?”

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

(I know, it’s only a partial payment)

Hope you’re doing well! Best wishes!

American healthcare sucks unless you’re rich

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

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

Oh damn, I was not expecting that.

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.

I certainly enjoy their posts/comments.

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

Thank you, that’s very kind of you!

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.

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

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.

philpo ,

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