Yea… healthcare without insurance can cost a lot of money if there’s an actual issue. It’s not going to cost anyone hundreds of dollars to go into a walk in clinic and tell the doctor “I work at a stupid place that requires me to have a doctors note to have a mask.”

That’s going to be like $25-$50 if there’s even a charge. I didn’t see anywhere that it said what kind of doctor (unless I missed it). They can do the same thing that the anti-vaxers in FL did, get a note from a chiropractor.

My son had to go to a clinic and saw a Nurse Practitioner, this was about 12 years ago. He needed a prescription for asthma medicine and it wound up costing $500 and then it got reduced to $350 when I called and said that I couldn't pay that all at once but I could make payments. I thought a urgent clinic and nurse practitioner would be much cheaper, but it was a rural area and there wasn't a choice. The nurse only talked to him and there was no testing or labs done.

Now we have some "minute clinics" if someone is lucky enough to live near where that is offered, and then there is telehealth that might be cheaper.
