Here is Texas it is not uncommon when you have a health issue and call your primary doctor, to be told that they don’t have any open appts for weeks and be told to go see an urgent care clinic instead. For profit primary doctors tend to arrange things so that all their time is filled up with non urgent “routine followups” or “annual checkups” and stuff that they have no time for any urgent medicare problems.
Someone in my family has medicare and it is absolutely fantastic insurance. You automatically get the very best prices on everything, because all the profiteering charges are automatically removed. I live in a large city and every doctor I’ve ever dealt with takes it because there are no insurance hassles, either for the doctor or for you. I’m talking about real medicare and not medicare disadvantage.
According to the website Space, the distance is 37.8 trillion km.
This is not correct, and is probably the result of rounding the light year distance to 4 ly before converting to km. The google answer is pretty close.
The correct answer is the distance to Alpha Centauri is 41.5 petameters (trillion km) and the distance to Proxima Centauri is 40.2 petameters.
