@IMaximusDMI Right. So in other words, the whole system is rigged so that you have no other option other than to go to the doctor that is closest to you. You can't look up reviews, check into the doctors' work history, seek alternative treatment or even take a bus.

...

Yeah, I call bullshit. You're just being a moron.

Yes, all those professionals will give you free estimates. So will doctors. Now go away.

[IMaximusDMI]

@kommisar Sites I've come across require a paid subscription to read user submitted reviews of doctors. And if you think that those websites don't profit from doctor's paying for better reviews to get more patients then you shouldn't be talking to me about common sense. Reviews can be padded by anybody and they are, so don't kid yourself.

You can find many mechanics, pumbers, interior decorators that make house calls just to give you free estimates. So please.

@IMaximusDMI Wow, didn't they just show another clip of people going to doctors that give cheap appointments with no insurance? Let me ask you something: How do you find a good plumber, mechanic, interior decorator or anyone else without using their services first? It's called research, and it's not that hard to do if you put some effort in. I can look up reviews on a restaurant before eating there. Shit, use some common sense and quit being such a moron.

@IMaximusDMI The same could be said about grocery shopping, having your dry cleaning done, buying clothes or anything else that requires you to leave your house. Seriously, are you this much of a fucking idiot? "I don't have a choice because I can't afford to go anywhere beyond walking distance." That's unbelievably stupid. If that's your mentality, forget the doctor. Just let yourself succumb to death because you've obviously failed at life; it's darwinism at work.

Everyone needs to see things like this instead of wanting more government like Obamacare.

Minute Clinic takes insurance now.

[IMaximusDMI]

@kommisar I don't see how you really have choice in "choosing your doctor". Technically if you don't have money you will go to one in your close vicinity because lack of means of transportation. And I've never had the pleasure to try before you buy so to speak.

I've always had to spend $50 to $100 just to SEE the doctor. People can't go around making a bunch of doctor appointments to find what's right for them. People's life savings can disappear within a day visit.

[kommisar]

@kommisar I know. Maximus is just a clown.

[Spjungen]

@Spjungen People don't become doctors JUST because they wanna make money. Some part of them must want to be noble and help people, and that's precisely what they do. The fact of the matter is they simply don't just turn people down. It's helped by the fact that EMERGENCIES generally aren't common; people don't TRY to get hurt so they can go to the doctor.

Healthcare's never been a problem until recently, when insurance started working hand in hand with government.

[Spjungen]

@IMaximusDMI I'm sure even the poor can afford to save up a few dollars and spend them to go to a clinic instead of on booze.

And hell even if they have NO money and have an emergency, the ambulance will take care of them. People are never let down. It's never been that way and it never will be, and it was never a problem until insurance, thanks to the government, became huge.

People who work for health have an instinctive drive to help their fellow man. That's why they chose the job.
