    People who push for private healthcare are either the type that could afford it or are the sheep following them.

    And the thing is, private healthcare is great for those who can afford it. Both specialists and PCPs are readily available for appointments in the US, and the quality of care is good!.. You’ll just end up bankrupt if your employer doesn’t provide good insurance.

    It’s fucked up, and it’s not equitable. But I understand why it’s appealing to the wealthy.

      Where are you going? I usually have to schedule my appointments at least three months out, or there is no availability. My girlfriend had to wait a year and a half to see her OBGYN

      My wife and I have high incomes and good insurance and she’s currently waiting 2 months for a specialist.

      The system is not good by any metric.

        No no no that’s only supposed to happen with universal healthcare! That only happens with socialism! Sean Hannity said so! Our system Is The Best On Earth!™

      That’s debatable for sure
