12 For A Doctor’s Office Visit
That is all I paid when my family and I were traveling in Prague in the Czech Republic this summer and my son had to see a doctor for an illness. This was not the co-pay, this was the entire cost and we didn’t have to wait. It was great treatment too. The cab ride cost more. I checked the worldwide statistics and it shows that we live a little longer but we have a higher infant mortality rate. What are we doing wrong???
