Thank you for your good wishes, and same to you as well.
As for an ER doctor giving you a polite suggestion about seeing a specialist, perhaps, after they’ve eliminated any life threatening possibilities.
Then the uninsured, as I was for decades, can find a GP in the phone book, ask what a visit would cost, and either bring the money or a credit card to pay for the $75-150 visit.
My current GP charges $125 per visit and it is an excellent fully staffed clinic with hep doctors and a professional atmosphere, good response time, etc. I know the fee because I asked first. I have a high deductible policy and pay for all my visits, labs and prescriptions by check or credit card.
In my neck of the woods it's less, when you bring cash. I know because last year I brought it for over thirty people who are so poor, they don't even have $5 for a Medicaid copay, never mind $50-100 on hand.
And I pay attention to their treatment, so I know cash is respected and poverty is answered with a referral to a place they can't afford to go, and a doctor who doesn't take medical assistance, and a chilly indifference.
I've been doing this for a few years now, and I've seen how desperately poor people can be and how little benevolent the medical system is toward the poor; as well as how the government personnel treat them. I don't usually bother trying to convince anyone, save for an occasional rhetorical question like "Why don't you put yourself in their shoes one day and see how you're treated?"
I've got innumerable horror stories for examples, won't bore anyone with them. People need to experience these things themselves. Such an experience can change one's life, provided one has a heart to work with.
