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.

IDK, really. As I said, I left the country where this psychiatrist lives.

Sorry, I will pursue happiness instead

Haha, not every place is in the US. Hopefully, I won’t face this kind of treatment as I do not live in that shit hole of a country

Like… yeah?

Tried to open to a girlfriend about a sensitive topic - she got the ick.

Tried to make an appointment with a psychiatrist - got a very hateful rejection because of my place of birth.

Damn, even when I try to uplift a friend, I use phrases like ‘you got this before, you’ll get it now’.

I don’t know how to be a man, mentally

They practically live in the damn things.

Have you seen rent prices

Literally me after reading Moby Dick

Wtf, no, you should not lick boron, fucking ever. Go lick a piece of lead, it’s better for your health

That’s the joke…

I believe that’s the joke

So? Why attack those who oligarchy wants you to attack

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?
