Jeezuz Crow, that's news to me.

My daughter is a severe asthmatic and the last time she ended up in hospital, she was in the ER waiting room from 11:30 PM 'till 7:15 AM. Wifey was fuggin' beside herself and I was in Joisey on business. I personally have been in a local walk-in clinic and waited in the waiting room for 4 hours until I was diagnosed with pneumonia and sent to hospital.

Yeah, it's free, but it really, REALLY, REALLY (did I say REALLY) sux the big one.

That's only a part of the reason we have high taxes. We are a God Damned Socialistic Welfare State started by that Liberal bastard Peirre Elliot Treaudeau (no, I ain't gonna say God rest his soul, I hope he's burning in hell).

OK, I'm gonna get down off my soapbox now, go outside and smoke something and cound to a million of something to cool off.

THREADJACK OVER. WE WILL NOW RETURN YOU TO YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING
Brrr....this is why "universal health care", the mantra of the Demoncrats, scares the hell out of me. I already have to wait too much and have to deal with too much bureaucracy with the current medical care I get. With UHC, I could see waits like you described, crappy doctors, good doctors moving abroad or just giving up, inferior health care, bureaucrats deciding what care we get, all very, very bad......
