I just learned something very interesting, and horrendous!

Apparently, in the US, a doctor may not be able to give you medical assistance, unless they have a license to perform medically for the state that YOU come from, not the state you're in when you get injured, and it's all due to insurance and medical administrators who wanna make money off of the doctor's need to get more licenses! 🤯

Also… As a Brit I can buy full worldwide travellers medical insurance that includes USA, even includes cancer treatment and terminal prognosis and it costs about £200 / year.

But a US citizen in the wrong state is denied care, because the doctor isn’t licensed?

Huh?

Well, it's more that the insurance won't cover it, and thus costs an insane amount of money out of pocket, so they get care but go bankrupt, so it puts pressure on doctors to get expensive licenses.
