From looking online I've diagnosed myself with strep-throat or tonsilitis and an inner ear infection. I need to see a doctor. I tried to go today, but they want to charge me 100$ for an appointment not even to see the doctor!. Is there anywhere in the seattle/kent/tacoma area I can go? Please help. I'm hurting bad!

Check to see if there are any free clinics in your area. Most hospitals that are governed by the state have to take patients regardless of whether they are insured or not and usually have a low income payment program you can sign up for...also, hospitals will typically bill you for services later rather than expecting payment at the time of service.

I'm not from the area, but I would say looking for a free clinic is the place to start.

a lot of inner-city hospitals have free clinics associated with them for those people that don't have health insurance... try looking for one of those near you.

What about an insta care type place? They have those here and you can make payments.
