They are also known as Copays, something a few of your fellow Canadians were talking shit about earlier in the thread. Sure, it will change behavior. Will it bring the costs in line with that magical "break even" point where is program costs less than the current system? I don't know.

Show me the part in the "book" where I ever said "Fuck the poor and the sick". I realize concepts of compassion and empathy are foreign to you, but a tiny little bit of decency wouldn't kill you, would it?

A co-pay is paid when you walk in the door of a Dr. Office or hospital (as a patient). It is the equivalent of a user fee.

shmike has already stated it, but co-pays (at least any I have had) are only when you walk in the door. I pay my $15 for a doctor's visit and all the tests, blood work, supplies, etc. are covered.

Or have a letter written, or get a prescription.... No?

I'm not sure what kind of letter you are talking about, but I have never had to pay anything additional for a referral if that is what you mean. If a doctor gives me samples of medication instead of a written prescription I have never had to pay additional for that. If I need to get a prescription filled at a pharmacy it is additional, but that isn't done at the doctor's office either. I also have prescription drug coverage so medication costs a max of $8 per prescription.
For things actually done at the doctor's office I pay my co-pay once and that covers me for anything they do during the visit. |
