<prompt> Human: Hello All,This is a throw-away account.About a week ago, my baby 10 months caught a cold. She has a cough thats lingering which is almost non-existent during the day but seems to be getting day-by-day worse at night.Maybe Im a little paranoid, but Im concerned it might escalate into something like Whooping Cough pertussis even though she had a vaccine for it.We are only visiting the USA and were here until mid-late June. We are staying in Southern New Jersey, near Philadelphia.Ive contacted a few local doctors and the cost of initial visit, plus a lab test for whooping cough, and the other expenses may add up to over 1,000!!!I looked at insurance prices and it seems they are far more expensive than just paying straight out of pocket. like 1k per month, PLUS a 3k - 6k deductible!!.Do I have any options for affordable care or are we going to have to put this on a credit card?Thanks for taking the time to respond!  <response>: There are urgent care facilities that are perfect for this. They are for non-emergency illness and usually run about 100 to 125 for a visit cash price. Essentially the fill the space between the ER and a doctors office visit. Plus they are usually open till late in the evening and on weekends. Look for on of those.
