Question about doctors

It is a digital doctor and I don't know their location but I like working with them. They must be connected to big pharma somehow since I only pay for the prescription itself. I think they also get some government funding. These medications aren't covered by insurance so everything comes out of pocket.

EU countries maintain health records but they do not change eligibility for treatment. Even smokers receive cancer care where I live.

You're correct that eligibility stays the same here. I just don't know how it would look if they notice the prescriptions are never used. I'll probably leave the program and manage things on my own since paying for my own blood tests is far less expensive than the official route.

I did the same. My doctor was impressed with the steady weight loss after I stopped filling the prescriptions. Since he's not naive he probably figured out what's happening.

Sweden's system is publicly funded, universal and decentralized so everyone gets equal access to care regardless of income. A high-cost protection cap limits yearly out-of-pocket expenses over a rolling twelve-month period. The description was generated with AI because I couldn't summarize it clearly myself.

Maybe. It wouldn't surprise me if prior use of unapproved substances made someone a stronger candidate for assisted suicide in their view.

It could. Euthanasia is regulated in the Benelux countries and Spain. I hope I never need it but the option is there.

Thanks for the clear summary, no judgment on needing help to make it short. The US version would be pay a lot, face many denials, maybe get lucky with your doctor and coverage, or possibly face medical bankruptcy.

Does that mean the medication is covered for obesity in Sweden? Is it free, partly reimbursed with a co-pay, or full price? If it's not covered and you pay everything how would the doctor even know whether the script was filled? If it's fully covered why consider gray sources at all except for cost? The branded version is superior in quality and sterility. In Romania where I live it's not reimbursed and the doctor just writes a script with no pharmacy tracking of whether anything was picked up. In that case I'd simply say I'm taking it while actually using the gray version.

No, you pay the full amount yourself here too.

I keep this information to myself. I don't trust my work insurance to be okay with it at all.
