Is that true? I'd guess that Thai medicine is a lot cheaper. I have digital nomad-style insurance and I kind of assume that my co-pays will be less than those in the US. American Healthcare is crazy expensive.
Anecdote: I once got sick in Luxembourg (pretty expensive country overall) without health insurance. Saw a doctor in the format of urgent care. Got prescribed antibiotics + something else. Total cost for doc + drugs was 40 euros. No way I get off that easily in the States.
- thaumasiotes 4y agoAnecdote: I went to see a doctor in California without health insurance. Saw a doctor in the format of urgent care. [Actually, I'm not sure of this - it's pretty likely, but there's a chance I saw them by appointment.] Got prescribed nothing. ("We call this desquamation. It means it's peeling. We don't know why.") Total cost for the visit + nothing was zero dollars.
