Hello, How do you get medical treatment in New York City when you need it? Is care similar, or very different from where you are from? Do you need to register with a local doctor (GP)? Can you make an appointment quickly? How long before you can see a doctor? What is the cost (drugs, treatment, reimbursement…)? Where do you buy your medicine in New York City? Are pharmacies all the same? Are most drugs over-the-counter, or prescription? Are there some prescriptions that hard to find? How does the hospital system work? What are the main differences between private and public care? Do you need/recommend private health insurance in New York City? Please share your experiences so new/future expats can prepare. Thanks in advance for you tips and advice!
