A shocking 92 percent of US adults not going to the doctor because it’s too expensive

I really should go for the back of my throat, it's had a sort of strep looking thing back there for like 8 months. But I went to the doctor in the first month of it, at which point they tested for strep throat which came back negative, shrugged their shoulders, and sent me on my way. Cost me $200 for a trip that lasted maybe 10 minutes.
So of course I'm reluctant to go back and have accepted that the back of my throat is just permanently strep throat-like although may or may not actually be strep throat. Don't really feel any symptoms from it, just feels a bit dry in the mornings
