California, at least, has free health care with nearly the same requirements to qualify as food stamps. It’s probably easier to get medical care here being homeless than it is if you make more money that prevents you from qualifying because it covers damn near everything and you don’t pay a single cent. I didn’t even use my job’s insurance because I didn’t make enough to stop qualifying for the state given insurance and I’d have to give up $300 out of every check to use the one given by my employer. I barely made $400 each check.

I would have thought that seeing a doctor should already be a “green” flag that you don’t need their help. I haven’t been reduced to living in my car yet but healthcare got axed a long time ago.

It’s funny to me that in the USA the people with the best access to healthcare are often either the richest or the poorest.

That’s how they keep you from climbing the ranks. You need to take a loss for a while before things can actually get better, and you never know if it’ll be possible for you to get over that hump.

In a lot of the world, doctors’ appointments are free or low cost
