    You should not need to use vacation days to visit the doctor. Or to recover from an illness.

      You should not have to be ill or have to explain why you need to take a day off. Just have sufficient undesignated PTO to maintain good mental and physical health.

      My US doctor is pretty good about telehealth visits. I can send them messages online, or schedule video appointments for certain things. it makes it much easier to get questions answered or schedule visits with some more flexibility. I know many states still don’t allow any medical access via phone/video/online.

      In Mexico, I can ask questions and talk to my doctor over Whatsapp. I don’t need to log into a healthcare website to ask for the minor requests.

      The US is such a backwards place and the healthcare system is incredibly broken.
