Mine is meh to solid. For regular health concerns, we have urgent care, which is way cheaper than the ER for minor emergencies and illnesses, I.e. influenza, infections, and breaks/sprains. Insurance covers it nicely, they don't order unnecessary tests, and I've never waited longer than half an hour. We also have very affordable mental healthcare in my area, generally covered 100 percent by insurance, and if it isn't, it is on a very affordable sliding scale. If I lose my insurance, it is $14 a session. The counselors all have a masters degree at a minimum, although quite a few have PhDs...and there is a licensed psychiatrist (drug therapy as opposed to talk therapy, but that's why they have counselors) who is also $14 a session (once a month) if I lose my insurance.

The meh is because of the bill I got after my...uh...suicide attempt. I guess the tests were probably valid, but getting blood taken every 3-5 hours for 72 hours isn't exactly cheap.
