I hate having to ask, but a lot of doctors will be, “you need x y z” and get frustrated when I’m just “I’ll do all of it…if my insurance covers it.” I am on the public plan. I have no money. I had one very condescendingly say my health is more important than money and just leave when I asked where I’m to get the money from when I had no job and had no way of doing debt.

I’m lucky my public plan is pretty good. But there are things it will not cover. Dental is a nightmare. Preventative is a nightmare. Surprisingly physical therapy is a go? Finding specialists is a nightmare because the phone line is just. They know nothing.
