I don't like doctors and I would rather see if I thrive and survive on my own without medical treatment rather than spending god-knows how much money on each doctor visit and taking medicine that's possibly bad for you and may not even help you (or only helps you short term). I believe in survival of the fittest and if I'm meant to survive, I will. Standing alone without SSI/Medicaid, I probably couldn't afford healthcare anyway. That and I'm generally well anyway and I think if one's well you shouldn't waste a doctor's time. I honestly believe it should be the same for every human considering we're animals and I think it's selfish wanting to turn to medicine if you're ill or wounded when other animals don't have medicine. As much as it sounds like it, I am not a troll nor is this a "Joke Post". I'm 20 by the way.

    You have to pay to see a doctor?!
    What sort of 3rd-world country do you live in?

    I was going to disagree and say humans are not animals because we do use medicine, but look at some animals using medicine. Looks like we're both wrong. If you don't like western medicine maybe look into eastern medicine? It's really not all that selfish to want to live. You don't only live for yourself, other people depend on you.

    I agree with the user before me. You'd be better off looking in Eastern/Alternative Medicine.

    USA's health care is fucked up. A friend of mine who lives in Texas got bit by some animal (I don't remember if it was a cat, dog, snake, whatever) and she didn't go to the doctor just because it would cost her family money, and she had to treat it herself at home. Like what the fuck, you shouldn't have to worry about going to the doctor.

    I am with you. I haven't had health insurance since about 1996. I was 22 then. In the beginning it was bcuz i didn't have money for health insurance. Internet helped bcuz when I had some kind of medical issue I would google it and find the herb or holistic remedy. For example, you don't need lamisil for toenail fungus, you only need tea tree oil. Shit like that. WHen i found out about Obamacare that requires health insurance I felt violated. After more research I learned that some pharmaceuticals are intentionally made to sabotage another part of your body while temporarily fixing the symptoms you're having! This happened to my aunt too. I don't put it past the bastards in control. Screw pharmaceuticals! Holistic and herbal remedies are the way.. Cheap and healthy and effective.

    I agree with you totally! Screw pharmaceuticals! They're way too expensive plus toxic! Just google the herbal remedy. Cheaper and healthier. Phramaceuticals don't try to cure you, they try to make maximum profit while keeping you sick and miserable.

    Yes it's normal, but chances are you will need to at some point.

    I agree, I don't want to go to the doctor ever again. All they do is add more problems. I was fine before I started going to the doctor and now I'm trying to fix the problem without going back. They were telling me I had this and that and I'm fine.

    There are good doctors, & there are bad doctors. You just have to be sure to see a good one.

    I know what you mean about some people wasting doctors time. Some might go for a cold! When they could just drink lots of fluids, take extra vitamins and rest and it would be gone in a couple of days. I would say that if you ever really need to go, though, go! Sometimes it is necessary. And the fact that humans have medicines I guess is a privilege, but a sensible one in a lot of cases. Sometimes doctors will be 'pill pushers' because it's in their interests as they have shares in the companies... which is just selfish.

    FIGHT THE POWER! I AGREE! I also hate how every doctor does a blood test. I mean come on! they never use to. I wanted a check up not a full exam. That means leave that type of shit out of it.
