I have some of the only socialized healthcare in th US and it is unbelievable. If I was badly injured, I could take an ambulance to the ER and get an x-ray, EKG, and medicine all for around $200 out of pocket. That’s orders of magnitude less than average for an American. We need to make these programs available for everyone regardless of income, status, or employer.
I have to get it back in order, but with MediCal I never had to pay for anything. The real downsides are they will just drop you without informing you (I only found out I wasn’t insured when I had to do my SAR-7 interview a few months ago for SNAP) and you’re forced to use a limited number of doctor networks which are some of the worst rated networks ever, so seeing a doctor takes months and even then you may not actually see one.
Also, I am going to have to go to a physical office to reapply because the website does not freaking work anymore.
