- fossuser 6y agoNope - he's charging $35/month.
- ketamine__ 6y agoFor how many hours?
- gbear605 6y ago20 minutes / month + unlimited emergency phone calls and emails. It’s mainly intended either as a way for people with long term psychiatric needs to be able to get medications and be monitored without having to also have an expensive health insurance plan, or in conjunction with a separate therapist.
- ketamine__ 6y agoIs the first appointment an hour?
- gbear605 6y agoYes
- PoignardAzur 6y agoYou know the details are on the site, right?
- mindslight 6y agoThis is such a defeatist attitude. Single payer healthcare is a pragmatic way forward, but we should also aspire to have services available at functioning market prices outside of insurance rules. Private pay will always be more patient defined and nimble.
- ketamine__ 6y agoIt's a realistic attitude. Doctors want to make SWE salaries too.
- chordalkeyboard 6y agoThere's a trend of cutting out the middleman insurance company specifically because physicians want to continue to make competitive salaries and provide medicine.
- mschuster91 6y ago> Doctors want to make SWE salaries too. SWEs make extremely high salaries in the US because there are too few of them and there is way too much "dumb cash" waiting to be invested. The problem with doctors is that unlike many in the general IT field, they are saddled with absolutely enormous student loans which they only ever can pay back if they make enough money.
