Look at the system in Canada. You have to wait almost a year to get in for a visit. And no, this is not hearsay - I have friends and people I support via the internet who have shared this with me. One woman faced a 10 month wait just to get in to see someone about Postpartum Mood issues. Is this REALLY the future you want for us? For the record, I too, am one of the people without health insurance and have been for quite some time. But I am against the current plan. Why? Because they are rushing it. Because they are not allowing anyone to do in depth analysis. Because they are not taking the time to think things through. I am for health care reform. I am against not doing it right the first time around. Ok, so let’s say we get universal health care.
