No health insurance
No health insurance
I am a person in the United States without health insurance. I also do not make a lot of money, but frugality and hard work make up for that.
I'm 28 and in good health. Recently, I developed an ear infection, nothing debilitating but definitely hindering. I knew I needed an antibiotic to clear it up. I decided to see a doctor.
The doctor's visit wasn't too bad. It was only $130. The doctor told me what I already knew, I needed an antibiotic. He prescribed me one and off I went.
