Which country are you in and what’s a typical doctor visit like? How much? Wait time? Etc

  • In addition to what slazer said, in Australia once you earn over a certain amount you get hit with an extra tax if you don’t take out private health. The conservative coalition brought that in a long time ago because their donor mates in private health asked them to ruin our public health care and this was their first step towards that.

    I still have private cover as it seems like the least bad option even though it pisses me off. I guess that’s the point.

      I’m sorry. Yeah that sounds dumb to me. As an American health insurance seems like it shouldn’t exist.
