Not on a theoretical level, but how would you practically have to pay costs, access specialist doctors?

    USA. Others have covered cost but I’d like to add how long it takes to see a doctor.

    I have an established primary care physician that I’ve seen for years. Now though if I want an appointment I have to wait at least two months. So I have a membership with an urgent care near me that puts a $180 cap on visits to their chain of urgent cares. There is obviously no on going care with them but most of the time that’s okay.

    A friend of mine doesn’t have an established PCP and to get one he must wait at least a calendar year….
