Going to the doctor with no health insurance

what kind of medicine do you need?

obamacare basically exists for you to get really reduced insurance, however its hard to start it in the middle of the year without some 'life changing circumstance' like your old insuranceb eing cancelled for reasons outside of your control.

you could always go to a free clinic though I am not sure if they will prescribe. a lot of medicine is available online tho

Asthma medication. I'm on my last vial.

not sure. you can try googling it but that sounds less common than anti biotics. find out how much filling the prescription will cost, but if it saves your life or at least allows you to live comfortably until you can get health insurance, great.

Google obamacare and sign up for the affordable care act (aca) and get medicaid. If you have asthma you should have done this months ago. If it's really bad go to your primary care physician or a hospital and ask them for help. Medicaid can even pay off old medical debt

Call up a rep for either your state's health marketplace or for Medicaid and see about getting on. If you can't, you may have to go to a hospital, as most urgent cares and doctors require payment at time of service. To my knowledge though, if you sign up later you can still get help paying these off.

Why should people who pay insurance should pay for your medicine? How do you survive with no income? Where you got medicine last time?

Stop being a fucking dramawhore. A visit to an urgent care is going to be $100 at most, if spending $100 is :massive debt" at your age you're an idiot who can't manage money

The truth. Docs make good coin, but goddammit, you know what you have, you know what you need, with your history the doc need not argue with that just write a script. Takes literally five minutes.

If it takes 5 mins = 20$ min = 120$ an hour ... Knew I should've studied medicine instead of cs ...

>he actually thinks things are free
Sorry bud, hate to break it to you but nothing is free. There's always a cost. It doesn't always have to be a monetary cost but there is a cost somewhere.

Health is business in USA, you Americans are only developed nation that cannot provide cheap health care to people that need it. There is cost but it can be reduced (see any other developed country). Not with Republicans in power though

NHS is cool and all, but people tell me it's going to be dismantle quietly and then everybody's going to be sent back to workhouses.
