I have been on the phone with my health insurance for over 30 minutes trying to figure out if I have an urgent care appointment in my insurance plan. I have no children and no spouse. I just want to see a doctor to tell me if I have strep or not. Insurance forwarded me five fold to a company that might virtual appointment me? Still haven’t been “seen” and my appointment was at 9. Get fucked A****** I don’t even know how much this will cost me. Can’t be more than my student loans though, right??
It will cost you less than migration to another country.
And it will be addressed faster than migration to another country.
Migration is not cheap and migration is rarely logistically straightforward.
I currently live in a country with universal healthcare. Doctors reached the cap for how much they’re allowed to earn in 2023 several weeks ago, so all appointments are scheduled for 2024.

Seems quite specific. I also live in a country with universal healthcare and this cap does not exist there.
Turns out the diabetes medication Ozempic is great for weight loss, so a lot of overweight people have had it prescribed, causing a financial headache for the regions (region = political institution responsible for, among other things, healthcare).
Example: One region saw their Ozempic expenses increase by 76% compared to last year. Annual ozempic expenses in mio DKK: 2018 1.4, 2019 27,6 2020 44,5 2021 75.3 2022 99.5 2023 176.7
