    What good is getting a diagnosis if you can’t pay for the treatment. I’m stuck in this position right now. American health insurance is nothing but a glorified discount plan/coupon book scam.

      And getting a diagnosis can be an absolute shitshow all by itself. God help you if you need a “specialist.”

      Communism. God they’ve been doing this since the 50s. Even though they don’t actually seem to be doing anything. Strange.
