Sometimes. When I don’t wear my contacts

I use daily contacts for weeks

I use microwave as a kettle

One of the few things I liked about Russia is the healthcare system.

If you have money, and I don’t mean like you’re in the top 1% or 10%, you just have an average salary, you can get any doctor any procedure within 2 days. Neck MRI is $120; ultrasound is about $30; regular appointment is also $20-30; PET $400.

When it comes to the free healthcare tier, it’s kinda tricky. In an emergency you could be delivered either in a new medical center with boxes and wifi, or they could throw you in an old hospital where various infections were living for centuries and doctors just hate this place and everyone who’s around.

Haven’t been there for almost 5 years, if we exclude a short two month period where I haven’t interacted with the healthcare system. I heard that due to sanctions there’s a lack of basic medicine right now: antibiotics, infusions, and even paracetamol.

Yeah, thanks for the explanation. I think I have a better understanding of the US healthcare system.

As for the people, they are just parroting the media, nothing new here.

max out of pocket

That’s what I’ve been missing all this time.

Bottom line is:

If you have income above the poverty line, say $2k/mo, don’t pay the insurance fee for some reason (the income is from something shady like onlyfans or etsy), you don’t have a disability, and you’re younger than 65 - only then you can get million dollars bill.

Otherwise, cancer treatment could cost you up to $15-30k and sometimes even be free.

Found this post as well. ED is not always an option

That’s really sad

Sorry, googled it. The actual fuck

TIL that go fund me is actually charity and not a onlyfans predecessor

But like, after one’s stabilized?

Ok, I get the Black mirror reference, but I wanted serious answers

And after I go bankrupt, my children go broke, could I receive the governmental treatment for remission?

It looks like if a person is above the poverty line and is under 65 they will have to pay like 20% of the medical bill which could be insane, given they have an insurance. Otherwise most first line treatments are covered by Medicare and Medicaid Plan B.

So if a person earns, like not insane $3k/mo, they will most certainly be billed with enormous bills and be refused to be treated again in case of relapse, just because they haven’t paid the previous bill?

are you asking how we treat, or what do we pay?

Both actually.

cheapest…they are not mandated to cure

So even the stabilization requires paying the bill? Isn’t it like an emergency medicine where doing nothing just kills?

All I could find was that he lifted his butt. Honestly, it’s the most Mac choice and I can believe in whatever I want at any given moment based on the argument I’m trying to make

Mac from IASIP. Saw his picture with his son and immediately got thinking ‘place away this psycho from a child’

I buy your provocation.

When it all started and I got called an orc and an occupant on the streets, I felt the utter emptiness, as if I was seen just as my passport. Some Russians got either isolated in their communities abroad, some said they feel that they’re Ukrainians now, others felt symmetric hate towards the world and bought Putin’s resentment.

It has never helped the cause unless you wanted to make the world colder, more alien.
