Nothing new here. Just last month, James Taranto spotlighted a case (at the link, scroll down to “Great Moments in Socialized Medicine”) where an former director of the NHS died after waiting 9 months for an operation – at her own hospital, no less.

Here’s my question: how does this (mis)administration expect to replace the thousands of doctors who plan to give up their practice once the full effects of Obamacare become effective? Short of locking the doctors up in federal medical camps where they’ll be forced to see patients 16 hours a day, they won’t. There will be longer wait times simply because there won’t be enough doctors to go around. And that’s BEFORE you add in the time-wasting delays that will be unavoidable once the people who run the USPS are put in charge of your health care.

OK, we can get in to see the doctor within 3 weeks max now, and depending on the doctor and level of emergency, can usually get in to see him the same day.

And ObamaCare is supposed to improve this…how?

Oh, you say, the reason for ObamaCare wasn’t to make health care available faster, better or to more people, it was to make it less expensive!

If that is the case, then why isn’t there one line in the 2100 pages+ that addresses the problem of excessive and increasing health care costs?

Check it out. Not one line.

I had to wait over one month for my daughter to get in for her annual yearly physical examination. She’s angry because it will slow down her learner’s permit process. She thought we could just go to another doctor, but found out if you weren’t already a patient the wait was more like two months! So I just can’t wait to see what happens when Obamacare kicks in completely. If you are planning a family have your babies now, as soon as possible, as the OB/GYN’s will be having you wait in the waiting room for a long time each visit otherwise.

We need more doctors….but who wants to become a doctor if they precieve the government will be setting the treatment plans?

National health has not worked in any country to which it has been introduced. It’s so unlike America to take on a plan that has been proven to be faulty. In Australia we can wait for a month to see a Doctor,BUT if you go private,you are OK.I am a Vet so my vet card Guarantees me private cover,I’m just lucky.
