Answer 1

Although many communities have clinics that charge on a sliding scale, you seriously need to look for a job that comes with medical benefits. I worked many jobs, but if they didn't have medical then I treated it as a temp job and kept going to interviews until I found ones that did.
Until then, the ER is the most expensive place you can go, just like shopping at Nieman Marcus . . . go to the day clinics instead, then go to job interviews on your day off or after work.
