My god I've been gone for 2 years, I come back the medical system, under biden, has degarded to the worst I have ever seen.. I had to flee the country before due to medical abuse from the system... here we are same problems again... Cant wait for Biden to be out of office... cant come soon enough.
@freemo Wait, you think healthcare is worse now than it was while overburdened with COVID? That has certainly not been my experience.
@LouisIngenthron 1000% worse, but you arent likely to see it unless you actually have significant medical needs..
During covid they took telehealth which made things so easy.. you'd talk to a doctor, get a prescription, they bring it to your door, very little barriers because they didnt want patients to come in.
Now not only do you have to go in, but the barriers are insane around anything that puts the slightest risk on the doctor.. spinal injuries or any injury that needs pain meds, expect to be tortured, abused, and sent away at every turn. Have ADHD and need a controlled substance, expect to be refused and denied at every turn even with multiple diagnosis... need sleep medication because you have a sleep disorder, same problem.
Before I left those were still issues but if you called enough doctors and tried hard enough, and were willing to travel a bit, you could maybe find a solution. Now the DEA made it illegal for pharmacies to fill prescriptions from more than a few miles away for controlled substances so it has literally become impossible for most people who need medications to get it no matter what... and it is abusive to deny people care entierly, atleast in terms of the system as a whole (I get why doctors do it, the system makes them).
