Karin broke her ankle, I think it is now two weeks ago, and thanks to the, lets say, less effective health system in the states she is still not treated properly. SY
Karimala:
I had myself a little bicycle accident. Rode up onto a curb and lost my balance, and when I went to brace myself, my foot hit a barrier separating the sidewalk and a parking lot. When my foot came down, it landed in a drainage ditch and SNAP. Broke my ankle. That was 16 days ago, and I'm STILL trying to work my way through the system just to see a bone doctor (I don't have health insurance). On Thursday, I finally qualified for bus service for the disabled, so I'm going to the county clinic on Monday to start the paperwork needed to qualify for public health assistance. I'm praying that I'll be able to see a doctor (other than an emergency room doctor) by the end of next week.
The health care system in the US is madness...but no state is worse than California. If I was still living in Oklahoma, I would have seen a doctor and been in a cast by now.

unbelievable. here in Europe you'd see doctor in hours. two weeks with broken bone and no doctor. sounds like "soldier on war" for me.
would health insurance fasten things for you? how much?
Karimala:
Health insurance costs between $300 - 400 per month. :-( And even if I could afford it, I wouldn't qualify anyway, because having an injury prior to applying is considered a pre-existing condition. Most insurance companies do not accept people with pre-existing conditions. The health care system in the US is insane.
