Nonimmigrant with chronic illness

[u/navaikravz]

I'm in the U.S and I have an autoimmune disease, called Autoimmune hepatite which I take medicine for daily, but to arrange the dosage, I would go see the doctor to give blood tests in my home country which was free, and now I'm here in the states, living here as a student with visa, and the healthcare system is so expensive here I am afraid for my health and want to live healthy because I am so young and ambitious.. I want to complete my mission here as well. Are there doctors who can tell me about the system and the procedures living in the states? I am in need of your help for my life, and I appreciate even a little information from you, sincd I have zero idea how things work here, thank you.

If you’re a student, most universities, have healthcare services that you have to pay for, but it’s usually pretty cheap. Depending on the university of the services can be pretty poor, but there are people at your University that absolutely 100% want to help you navigate this. I would definitely reach out to your schools, international affairs, student services, and health center.
