I've lived in 4 other countries (& US) & never had to wait for appointments or care. I did have a 3 month-wait for an elective surgery in Australia. 4 days in hospital, nothing out-of-pocket. Similar surgery in US: also 3 month wait. < 24 hrs in hospital. $22K cost; my share $4K. US HC is crap.
I was 22 and dying from colon cancer, found a doctor to remove it but Blue Cross wouldn’t pay for it because I was “too young” for colon cancer, lmfao.. 🤯 I completely agree, our healthcare sucks in the US.
I'm very sorry about your cancer. I hope you find some treatment or a charitable donor who will help. 🫂
Hi!! I absolutely love your name btw. 🫶 I should have clarified; it was 1996, blue cross ended up paying but only after my amazing doctor fought them for about 4 months.. I’m totally cancer free as long as i keep riding my body of the polyps. Thanks for the love! Cheers! 🥰
Oh, GOOD, I'm so glad. Yes, in another life I was a priestess of Avalon. *sigh*
My Absolute Favorite book is Mists of Avalon. Seeing your name brought a ton of lovely memories back. 🙌 Cheers My Priestess. 🫶
A childhood friend died of pancreatic cancer at 35 b/c he didn't have health insurance & no hospital or cancer center would treat him. The ER gave him pain meds & sent him home to die.
omg 😳 that is horrific. 🤦♀️ I am so sorry to hear that. I can’t imagine being those nurses and doctors who sent them away with little to no help. absolutely heartbreaking.
