    Yeah, I wait for weeks for a normal check-in with my doctor as it is now. I can’t ever go to them when I’m actually sick, cause by the time I get an appointment, it’s like 1-2 weeks out. I’m no longer sick. I have to end up in minor emergency clinics all the time for just basic shit.

    I love my doctor and use her any and every time I can, but it’s only for pre-planned checkups. God forbid I have to wait the same amount of time as now, and it BE FREE.

      Thankfully my clinic has weekend walking for registered patients. That made a huge difference. I assume they did that because patients were going to other walk in clinics instead as they couldn’t get appointments. I think my clinic also has an “urgent care” option, for people not sick enough to need to go to emergency. You can call first thing in the morning for an appointment that evening.

      Having said all that, they’re starting to charge for more and more things, and trying to get people to sign up for their “insurance” plan. Thanks Ford.
