I STILL can't afford to see a doctor. I went to my family doctor back in September because I knew I had a sinus infection. As per usual, I was told that no - I, in fact, did not have one. Went back the very next day feeling worse. Voila! I do have a sinus infection! Now I'm $209 in debt. Great. I can't pay that. My insurance plan has a $2500 deductible. I can't pay that. Ever. I make less than $10,000 a year after taxes. So, my insurance is utterly useless unless I land in the hospital. I also can't find an affordable clinic (and I mean under $50) to visit.... and now I fear that I have a UTI, which is something I must see a doctor to get taken care of. Where do I go? What do I do? Is there cheaper insurance out there with Rx coverage and dental coverage? I currently pay a little over $100 a month with the aforementioned $2500 deductible. Is there a clinic in SE MI that I can afford that will see me with less than a 5 hour wait? Or less than a 5 month waiting list for an appointment? I mean... Seriously... WTF do I do? I'm pulling my hair out just trying to see a doctor to get some antibiotics.
