So one argument I have heard recently about Universal Healthcare is that it will take months for people to get in to see a doctor, where as now, you can get in quicker.....
Hmmmmm.... lets take the two most recent attempts of me trying to set up doctor appointments.
1. I tore my ACL last Aug. went to Peru at about the 6 month mark, missed my 6 month check up to see how my knee was healing. About one or two months ago my knee was bothering me (I had started playing sports again) so I figured since I didn't have my 6 month check up I would make an appointment just to make sure I am not injuring it more by playing sports. Any how called the doctor. The FIRST available appointment was not until Aug. 11th.... THIS WAS OVER A MONTH AGO.... That is a 3 month waiting period for a check up....
2. I have not had a yearly physical for about 2 years.... I am getting married in Jan. and we are not looking to have kids anytime soon, so I figured I should get in, and look into getting back on the pill.... Just called today, my doctor does not have an opening until Sept. 10th.... that is again 3 month wait for a doctor's appointment.
Now I ask you, will Universal Healthcare really push out typical doctor appointments out that much?
