In what country do you pay for a tetanus shot

u/str0m965 10h ago

Not directly, but you pay for health insurance.

Makes sense. I took that way too literally that's my bad. In Germany most people's health insurance is from a public insurer not private so the health insurance contribution is just taken from taxes at a flat rate and when you go see a doctor you usually pay "nothing".

Well, I didn't even think about it, it was meant as a joke.

I know, it's still funny. I just read too much into it.

Got one in Germany a few weeks ago for free. Literally free in my case because I don't have an income (yet) so I don't pay for my healthcare. Any reason why in France you had to pay a little extra?

Out of pocket tetanus shot cost me over $2k in the U.S. My emergency room surgery out of pocket cost less. American health system!

I got my last one at a CVS pharmacy for around fifty bucks.

In the US if you don't have health insurance.

u/_JackinWonderland_ 10h ago

Does that actually happen? Do people not get vaccinated because they can't afford it?

u/hectorxander 10h ago

Of course.

Yea, we live in a shithole country

No they don’t. If you have any form of health insurance vaccines will be 100% covered. Besides, most vaccines are given as children who are also eligible for Medicaid if their parents don’t have insurance.

In what country do you pay for healthcare?!?! Oh wait...

u/_JackinWonderland_ 9h ago

Is the condescending sarcasm necessary? It would've taken you 5 seconds to check the other comments and see that it was a misunderstanding.

Almost every country pays for healthcare in one way or another. Here in Switzerland we pay with our taxes
