Fortunately friend life is all about trade offs! I just choose to coexist simultaneously within the world where healthcare is extremely expensive and intrinsically tied to your work which I believe gives us the best healthcare professionals in the world, as well as the world in which I distrust those same medical professionals I put in that position because of their for-profit mindset!
There is no alternative! We need to keep them for-profit so we can distrust them for being for-profit! If they weren't, what would I need all these shaman for?! I wake up every morning and give myself finger-guns in the mirror an a quick wink before I sip my morning coffee and sit down for work!

Oh I don’t trust doctors all that much either. Occasionally wrong, sometimes in a life threatening way, and almost always a condescending cunt (in my experience with them). With you on that one. But I still will take their advice over webmd. And my last surgery I had a month ago to put my elbow ulnar nerve back in place I simply couldn’t do on myself with 1 arm, even if I had a video guide

And the costs of healthcare seem pretty crazy in the US, so you don’t want to be without insurance. If you weren’t working and had no income, you’d definitely want to sign up for your state’s Medicaid. And if you have income but work isn’t offering an insurance, you definitely want to go to the insurance marketplace and pick one. You never want to get saddled with an out of pocket cost. Luckily there are usually options like what I mentioned to prevent this
In regards to alternatives, there’s completely socialized medicine. And Medicaid is fuckin amazing, I’d love to have that be for everyone. I just don’t see it as possible, expense-wise
