    • So being made great again hasn't created a medical system where you need to pay $60 in an emergency department? The solution is in the hands of ordinary people - VOTE.

      Ours is far from perfect, but if even our present happy clappy xian pm tried to introduce that sort of system here, it just wouldn't happen.

      • It's better to pay the 60$ in the urgent care than to pay the 1500$ meds they give you in the ER. Doctors and nurses are expensive people to get so the hospital needs to make money since most are privatized. That's why preventive steps in ones healthcare are needed.

        Of course there a city funded hospitals and federal ones but their services are lacking compared to the private sector. Because private businesses tend to do things more efficiently than goverment institutions.

      • I canf tell if you are being sarcastic in the first part of not. I haven't gone to th ed hospital in like 8 years so I have no idea on the modern costs. I got some podiatry done for 400 wich wasnt a bad deal but that was with no insurance and at a dedicated place
