Something a lot of folks don't realize is the poorer you are, the more governments will give you. Tack on a disability or two, and veteran status and you don't pay for medical, prescriptions, or basic vision and dental.
Once you get in a system, you can get in the groove and know what to expect. But when one thing changes in the chain, absolutely everything else falls apart. Like, the new patient portal my clinic has implemented is lacking even the abilities of contacting my primary or having a prescription renewed. So many people have been having issues that having 45 people ahead of me when I call is not out of the question. The only thing to do is get a callback.
I realize my good fortune in being poor. But I also see benefits in being able to swipe my card to see who I want, when I want.
