At least though the attending physician doesn't penalize the patient for not having a gold-plated insurance policy as is often the practice in New York!
American wanting to move to Poland from USA - how hard is it?
How do physicians in NY penalize their patients?
Didn't you just say "presumed innocent"? Or are you onto those idiotic Polish metaphors again...
There are only two penalties in the US: fines and prison. Which one did you mean?

Simply, if the doctor sees a cash/ck, not a high insurance with numerous visits, the doctor visibly loses interest!
A doctor serves all, or none.One doesn't pick and choose, if they know what's good for them.

Refusing service is not a penalty. Fine or jail are.

'Course it's illegal, unless ol' doc wants to.wind up dead!

Thank God for the proper healthcare we have in Europe; seems barbaric paying money to doctors
Having said that, I usually go private in Poland if I need a quick neurology appointment. There's a very good doctors' cooperative in Warsaw. Nothing to do with 'insurance' though and not expensive.
seems barbaric paying money to doctors
Yes, genius,...doctors love going through 9 years of school and training, and work for free when done.
Not free, but at a mean rate affordable for ALL, not merely the "select" few.
During the New Deal Era, money was also important, but it wasn't the only thing!
Why d'you think Perry Mason and Dr. Marcus Welby resonated so with the American public?

Not free
Indeed. We all pay into a common pot which covers all medical care and a fixed price per item for medication. Back home, I've had 6 operations z(5 of them as an inpatient, and never once thought about (or been asked about) 'insurance'.
Unless you're over 60, under 16, 16-18 in full-time education, pregnant/new mother, are disabled, have cancer, diabetes, epilepsy or a few other conditions, have a a war pension, or receive specific benefits like Income Support or Pension Credit Guarantee Credit. Or if you live in Wales where all medicine is free at the point of use.
It's not as generous in Poland, however some medicines are refundable and most people use public hospitals.
Yes, genius
Butt out of it, troll.
I usually go private in Poland
This is what right wing nuts can't get their head around. In Europe everyone has access to healthcare involving a plan to treat the condition and underlying issues, you can also choose to go private if you wish.

And sometimes the NHS contracts out some operations to private (usually not for profit) hospitals. You can often choose, literally from a menu, and be in a hospital with fancy food etc. And more and more NHS hospitals have individual rooms with their own bathrooms.
And no worry about whether or not your 'insurance' covers a particular procedure, no worry about 'pre-existing conditions' or being dropped by an insurer. And certainly no worry about the cost of medicine.

Who is supposed to set that "mean rate affordable for ALL"?
Before you say something really idiotic, "ALL" includes penniless migrants.
The priority though is the US citizen who finds themselves up against it.
Even the middle class is hurting.

Can you read English?
Yes, Rich. But I understand it, that's the difference.
Unlike Poles, most Americans are ignorant simpletons. All it takes is to label something as "Affordable" (e.g., "Affordable Healthcare"), and they'll vote for it with two hands, without realizing they've been duped.
Some other examples:
"The Patriot Act" - in fact, government surveillance of US citizens without limits.
"Too Big to Fail" - in fact, indebted Americans bailing out billionaire corporations in exchange for nothing.
"Safe and Effective" - in fact, ineffective and deadly.

If slogans only fooled Americans, Europe wouldn't be drowning in bad policy of its own. This is projection, not analysis.
Analysis: After 5 years of Trump, these failed policies still bite Americans in the ass as he hasn't changed them.
Analysis
If policies persist across administrations, that's institutional reality, not a one-man conspiracy. Calling that "analysis" is generous.
"Safe and Effective" - in fact, ineffective and deadly.
"Islam is a religion" - in fact. it's a tool of conquest, but stupid Euros still buy that shlt
"The UK has a freedom of speech" - in fact, it's soft fascism, but stupid Brits believe they are as free as Americans.
"Russia is weak" - but nobody in Europe is rushing to help Ukraine
these failed policies
...these unnamed failed policies...
Better now?
