I am in California and, with great thanks to our current president, I finally have health insurance after not having it for 8 years. I belong to a health insurance corporation called "Kaiser". In my case, I pay $80/month as a premium, then usually $3 per doctor's visit (same with p-doc). I pay about $3 for each prescription.
I do not have dental care or optical care yet because I cannot afford them. I'm not sure what to do about those.
Without health insurance, it's pay out of pocket (full cost) or, if you can prove that you're living below the poverty line, you can get crappy occasional health care.
I would like to see socialized medicine happen in the USA one day.
