According to this Feb 2009 study wait time is still a major problem. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19377359 Again, Larry was talking about MRI's, I thought the specialist wait was more important. So to recap, it's you and Larry that keep coming back to the MRI's. > a) MRI's in an hour but have to pay for insurance (which would fight tooth > and nail to deny claims) or out of pocket and where medical > procedures/supplies are double or triple the going rate and drugs that are > up to 10 times more than going rate > > OR > > b) a free inclusive system where they wait two weeks to three months for a > non-emergency MRI and immediate imaging for emergency situations > > unless they are millionaires or better the answer is going to be a > resounding "B!!!!!" Isn't that the problem Canada and Britain are having? They're trying to encourage people to go to private doctors because the systems are collapsing. But the people can't get themselves to pay for shit that they could get for free if they just wait. in other words maker sure this plan is perfect because there's no coming back. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
