Medicare is working out pretty good for me. Medicaid and Medicare coverage was even better, but the bills that I have I can handle.

Not satisfied at all my dr was prescribing clonazepam .5 10 every two weeks and he wanted to keep me on a short leash and see me every two weeks. It costs 450 so that’s 900 a month! I told him I can’t do that anymore and want to see him monthly he said ok make the clonazepam last a month. So annoying honestly.

These last two months have been medical hell. I’m on state insurance, and I’m glad I have coverage so I won’t complain too much, but it kind of sucks. I’ve spent many hours lately waiting in qeues trying to see if someone accepts my insurance for a couple of things I need done, but most don’t.
I had to lose a tooth a while back because insurance wouldn’t cover a root canal, but they covered an extraction. That sort of hacked me off. Again, at least I had insurance to pay for the extraction. Many people don’t, so I won’t yell too loud.
Other than that, most of my care has been quality. I have an awesome pdoc, and had a good experience at the ER a couple weeks back.

I’ve had some bad experiences, Pdocs i didn’t really get along with, and some hospital stays that I hated, but at this moment things are good.
I am in Canada where we have public healthcare so it hasn’t cost me a penny out of pocket (but we do pay taxes which is what ultimately pays for our healthcare) so it’s not really “free”.

Yeah I’ve had abusive psychiatrists before and my last hospital stays were a nightmare.
Although I do like my current psychiatrist and therapist.

I keep my distance from doctors. I’ve been unjustly locked in a ward too many times. My relationship with my doctor is: you give me pill, I take pill

Maybe I complain too much but all Drs ignore my negative symptoms, they think I am lazy instead and they tell me I am not doing enough effort. I am in Canada so free public healthcare but I think pdocs outside Canada also think the same way.

I hate that healthcare in the states is so damn expensive. Hubby and I spend thousands of dollars on my doctor appointments, my medications, and my medical devices (for type 1 diabetes).
My deductible is $1,500 (amount I have to spend before insurance even partially covers anything) and my individual max out-of-pocket is $5,500 (amount that means insurance pays for everything in-network at 100%; I don’t have to pay anymore.
However, I always reach my individual max out-of-pocket, by end of summer, every year. But Hubby never reaches his max out-of-pocket. Our family max out-of-pocket is $11,000, before insurance covers all costs for both of us.
A few years ago, insurance was refusing to cover my refills for my diabetic medical devices (insulin pump supplies and continuous blood glucose monitor supplies). I’m a type 1 diabetic; I need my insulin pump. My insulin pump and CGM keep me alive and out of the hospital. I sure gave them a talking to and I got my doctor to talk to my insurance, too.
Insurance makes me angry. But at least I have it.

Sorry, kind of veered off into insurance…
Sorry… 
Uh, as for doctors and such, I find it really frustrating that there are not enough of them, where I live. Most doctors have a 3 month wait, minimum, even if you’re already an established patient.

Some things I am satisfied but things like finding a dentist who will take my insurance pisses me off unless I want to drive for two hours to see one of those snobby â– â– â– â– â– â– â– â– .
