healthcare

Man, this detailed account of a woman's experience navigating the healthcare in Iceland is something special. It sounds like it was magically simple. 

There are rare moments in this wild life when it's actually quite alright to be a Karen when it comes to overseeing the charges associated with your healthcare. You just never know if you're getting totally screwed over by a $25 charge for a Band-Aid, unless you make the extra effort to get an itemized bill. If all this healthcare talk got you going check out a woman's very different experience with the wonderful healthcare over in Iceland. 

Well doesn't this just sound like it's too good to be true. Too many Americans have had their rough go with trying to navigate a healthcare system that seems intended to ignite profound levels of frustration by its very design. Thus is not the case in Iceland though. 

Mary Robinette's story about her experience with discovering an ominous lump on her body, and then being able to get the help she needed in Iceland, speaks volumes to the healthcare situation back in America. Sounds like a visit to Iceland to get medical attention could actually be worthwhile. 

This Twitter thread highlights some of the differences experienced with the American healthcare system vs other places in the world. Not only that, but it maps out how a vacation could potentially be cheaper than a visit to the dentist to fix up those teeth. 

Healthcare professionals see a lot. For whatever reason people try to trick doctors, nurses and technicians, whether it's an adult trying to scam the system, someone trying to score a prescription, a kid taking a lie too far or some general WTF-ness. Here are more times healthcare professionals saw right through lying patients.

This health insurance exec's Twitter thread on America's healthcare system, and whether or not it preserves a "choice" is going viral. Healthcare should be a right, and not a privilege indeed!

This woman described her amazingly simple and stressless process with figuring out healthcare in Iceland. Sounds absolutely heavenly. 

After being put on a waiting list for way too long and seeing his wife blown off by incompetent healthcare administration, this guy took the matter into his own hands, with some creative emailing and the use of telemarketing software. The world is full of people complying maliciously, like this IT guy who came up with a masterful plan after being told he had to work on vacation.
