Comment on America is so great we privatized taxes

  I have insurance. I went to urgent care when I was pretty sure I had the flu or COVID or something about a year ago (just slightly before COVID was declared “over.”) I paid my copay for doctors office visit, I was in there for about an hour, with roughly 40 minutes of that sitting in a room waiting for a doctor (in an empty clinic) and then had a flu test and a COVID test.

  They still sent me to collections for $350 for this visit. I pay a stupid amount for insurance, which my employer subsidizes, and I still can’t even get a fucking flu/COVID test apparently.

  For profit health insurance in America is evil. It is easily one of the most fucked up things about this country that we just absolutely ignore.

      Thanks. I mean, I’m fine. I’m sorry that this is the reality for the simplest of things in this country.
