One way to get cheap basic health-care, in America

 

What I did in New Mexico. 

I applied to yhe cash price reduced, sliding scale baised on your income or la k of income 

All I did was give them my W2 from my last job in Alaska, which was 19K, and checked the box where I havent worked in six months. 

My visit to the clinic is 40 dollars, where as the other clinics cash price is 200, and 200 for tests, blood work ect.

So far I havent got a bill for blood work so dont know what it will be if anything, same with a urine test.

Forty dollars for a doctor's visit is reasonable at least until I run out of money.

It also feels good, to have a clinic I can go to and get basic healthcare and medication prescriptions. Nowthere many programs to get cheap prescriptions  and get it mailed to you.

If you can get on medicaid thats another way and more middle income people are doing that.

There is no easy solution for everyone but one I use when I am in North America. Its much easier and cheaper just paying cash in Asia, even Japan and Malaysia is affordable and good, not to mention Bangkok, and Manila. 

Thanks for reading.
