In the US, people don’t go to the doctor when they have a problem, they go as a last resort because they have to ask themselves how much it would cost.

In Estonia it's sorta the same except a visit costs nothing for the GP and 20 euros for the initial visit to a specialty doctor (subsequent visits are free).

We just don't go to the doctor because we're stubborn as fuck and "it'll heal on its own".
