I already knew what was wrong and what needed to happen. A 10 minute facetime call cost me $83.20. And that's a discount from going to their office which would have been closer to 120.00. Yeah, I think about if I can afford to see a doctor all the time.
Here in the UK we pay for the health service through our tax system, but the cost I have to pay on the day is zero, whether I go for a wart or heart surgery.
(most people pay a fee to collect their prescriptions, but if you need things on a regular basis you can pay a one off annual fee, no charge for over 65 year olds or those with some long term illneses like diabetes)
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.
Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups
Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
