Not once, at any doctor’s office for any reason. A doctor is not the only person in this situation whose time is valuable, especially when that person is low-income and taking time off of work to see the doctor during their short business hours. It is known that clinics/offices “overbook” appointments. If someone doesn’t show up, someone else gets seen quicker. Not sure why there needs to be a charge for missing an appointment. Is there a hidden cost involved somewhere? Punishing the poor for being poor seems to be a trend with Republicans.
