As an American I’m curious what it’s like if you need to go to the doctor and how much you pay from say a broken arm to general checkup. Also list what country please

    I’m so thankful for the pbs and Medicare. I’ve been medicated for decades and I’ve paid very little for it. When I was a teenager it was maybe 2-3$ a script. And now it’s only 7$ a script. Better than hundreds or thousands a month

      It’s not perfect but honestly I’m so glad it’s there. My friends kids are super allergic and have had multiple hospital stays and I’m glad my taxes help cover it. Honestly I just wish the mental health services were expanded but there is still a stigma.
