    Ford literally cut funding to healthcare during the pandemic. My GP now charges me 25 dollars if I want a script faxed into my pharmacy. His office offers a ‘deal’ of spending 100 dollars per annum which covers those new ‘incidental’ costs including cosmetic procedures (skin tags, warts, etc) and the aforementioned faxing of the script.

    It’s fucking bullshit. It’s literally not my fault as your patient that the government has fucked you out of 20 years of salary raises. You have then decided to put that burden on your patients instead of taking the fight to the government alongside every other doctor to fight for a fair wage. I guess it’s just easier to pretend to be American and hybridize everything.

    It’s disgusting. I hate it. Even the hospital’s main revenue generation is the parking lot. One of the biggest barriers in healthcare is being able to visit loved ones without being charged out the ass. Costs around 15 dollars for two hours of parking.
