I’ve often heard that healthcare in the US is extremely expensive and that getting an appointment takes forever.
Like, you need to book appointments weeks in advance, and even in emergencies, it can take hours or even days to get treated. Insurance doesn’t cover everything, leaving patients with huge bills.
Even basic tests, like a blood test, can cost hundreds of dollars. Is that really true?
Also, I’ve heard that in many cases, it’s cheaper and faster to fly to another country for treatment than to get treated in the US.
Is all that actually the case?
