(442 posts)We have the best healthcare system in the world, and you can choose your own doctor, right? RIGHT???
Sure, the cost for the same exact coverage and the deductibles go up every single year, but at least I've been able to choose my own doctor at least three times in the last three years. Three different doctors, mind you, because they keep switching practices, but by God I've been able to pick them, and it only takes a few months to get established with a new one, and I always have the option to go to Urgent Care or a Minute Clinic in between doctors. So what if I get bills for hundreds of dollars after I get a scope shoved up my ass or down my throat, and then I pay it, and then a few months later I get a check from the providers because Insurance finally paid the same bill. Who cares if I have to go to separate locations to have blood drawn because my doctor doesn't have an on-site phlebotomist anymore. I have however much time it takes to be able to take advantage of the greatest healthcare system in the world!
Motherfuckers.
