Before the advent of modern for profit healthcare, you could literally call the doctor to come and check on you when you had a fever...

and they would come! and it would NOT break your bank either!

I understand why doctors are now mostly in hospitals and clinics, since communities have grown a lot, but the cost of healthcare is ridiculous.

I mean the price is way out of proportion now for sure but when they came to your house the treatment was also stuff like blood letting, blistering, and mineral poisoning.

so cheap and easy to carry around. Also not super effective lol.

Wrong. They did this in the 50s when such practices were already debunked and we already knew about microbes and had antibiotics.

It was also way easier to become a doctor, there's a lot more gatekeeping these days.

Doctors went to college when college wasn't necessary for 90% of the jobs. So no.

My son was in the hospital for a while month after birth and needed heart surgery.

For some reason our insurance denied paying for his stay and is making us jump through hoops to get it approved and paid for.

In the mean time, the hospital called us last week to tell us we owe them 1.5 million dollars.

Lol
