re: #539 Sharmuta

I’m just wondering if anyone knows someone who is uninsured that also has need to see a doctor for a growing health problem? I’m curious if anyone would tell a friend in this position “tough shit”, or they should just go to the ER for their non-emergency issue.

I’m one of those uninsured with a growing health problem. No one has ever told me “though shit” but have suggested the ER or a local clinic. I’ve been through that and it was the usual “we don’t know what’s wrong with you.” One visit ended up costing me $800. Now I just don’t want to go back.
