From zero wait to 6-18 months...wow...unless an enormous number of people are getting no care at all now, the (implied) logic and math don't work at all.

WTF are you talking about?

Already, people in many places have a difficult time getting appointments with physicians, being shuffled off to LNPs or PAs instead. I scheduled my physical today and they're scheduling into July next year for physicals with my doc.

The reason is simple: Medicare and Medicaid, half the system, has payments so low that physicians are simply not interested in primary care. Can't blame them. And now, you idiots want to add another decade of patients to Medicare which will only make the problem worse.

This is what happens when you get people like yourselves discussing a subject you know nothing about. There is not one liberal on this thread who has the SLIGHTEST idea what is going on with healthcare. And frankly, you and RW -- who both think you DO know somethign about it, are the most ignorant of all.
