True story about healthcare as I know it... I went to have an infection taken care of a while back... I had a (rising) come up, and it had swollen/got infected. Ok so at the doctor he looked at it, and began to squeeze this infection out of me. No numbing medicine or anything yeeouch.
I like to had hit the ceiling, but I wasn't going to show him that lol. When he got done it felt better, but it looked like hell. He then said well that ought to do it, and that I didn't need an anti-biotic or anything really. He then put a bandaid over it, and when my wife removed that bandaid it looked like hell ... I ask him before I left to give me an anti-biotic for infection anyway, and this after all that mess that went on... wow. He said ok.
So next I went to the pharmacy to get the prescription filled, and they asked for my insurance card. I gave it to her, and then after a while she came back and said that my insurance didn't cover the medicine. I said wow, and so I thought this medicine must be expensive right ? So I ask how much is the medicine?? She said $20.00 dollars.. I thought wow you mean I pay $96.00 dollars a week in total for healthcare, and it won't even give me a discount on a $20.00 bottle of medicine ??? Kidding me right ?? I rarely ever, and haven't in years use my healthcare, so am I getting ripped off or what ????? What is going to be the answer for the American people (me I work for a living), but how can we fix this dam disaster that is these monopolies who are killing us, and are stealing our DAM money ????
Who knows what that squeezing is gonna cost when get that bill... Hell the Insurance will probably deny the whole dam claim. The doctor was in the network, but wow what a situation that was.
