    The entire argument about universal healthcare taking months to see a doctor is doubly trash because it took me that long to see a doctor in the US anyways. I had to plan my general practitioner visits out 3-4 months in advance and I was on meds that needed represcribed every three months so some months I simply missed it because how long the waits were

      Like all arguments in dumb asshole America, we can’t have a real argument where the basic concept of triage exists.

      Yeah, I think when I had a mole that turned out to be cancer, it was still a 6 months wait to see a dermatologist because there are so many people wanting to see them (and many of those are for cosmetic shit, grumble grumble). Luckily it didn’t metastasize while I was waiting. Fucking us healthcare is a joke.
