No. No, it does not. A poor tax makes no sense.

Riiigghhttt! I can understand that that differences in physical biology demand different attention. That's not what I'm complaining about. It's the way it's set up. I was told that at my appointment. Why not just refer me to a specialist? The website could've even just referred me to urgent care. But, no, their goal is to obfuscate and irritate until the patient gives you and pays out-of-pocket.

Thank you for your concern, and for talking some sense into me. I'm in pain and not being as rational as I usually am. I decided to go to urgent care and just.. not pay. I'll figure out my next move when I recover.

A handful of bastards at the top are making unfathomable amounts of wealth at the cost of the lives and future of the country. A majority of the country is in support of nationalizing health care. I've even met conservatives who agree. It's these sick fucking parasites who won't allow us to have it.
All the fuckers writing the laws have socialized healthcare. It's the untouchables who don't.

That's very interesting, and I appreciate you taking the time to explain this in so much detail. I looked at urgent care near me, but my insurance requires a referral from a primary care physician first. I will continue to explore my options.

Correct, they sure are. And abortion rights are under attack. Those teens won't even have a chance.
She literally called me at the time of the appointment to tell me she can't see me. She was so apologetic, but was like "I absolutely can treat you, but I'm not allowed by your insurance". Fuck this country. Update: I went to urgent care. Before leaving home, I called to be sure they would accept my insurance (Aetna). They said yes.. After arriving for my appointment, they told me they ***do not*** accept my insurance. I will simply leave without paying. Final Update: I can understand that that differences in physical biology demand different attention. That's not what I'm complaining about. It's the way it's set up. I was told that at my appointment. Why not just refer me to a specialist? The website could've even just referred me to urgent care (yes, my insurance requires a primary care physician's referral for urgent care, according to the urgent care facility). But, no, their goal is to obfuscate and irritate until the patient gives you and pays out-of-pocket. I was able to receive care at a cost I could not afford. I won't discuss what I had to do to "find" the money to pay for care and prescriptions. That being said, the condition I was diagnosed with was more serious than a simple infection, and I'm glad that I saw a doctor. I need further treatment and just hope I can get insurance to cover any of it.
