Reply #7: here's what makes me laugh

I've actually been told that in the evil commie/socialist world, where they have universal health care, you sometimes have to wait THREE! WHOLE! MONTHS! to see a specialist.

I'm in a major city (San Diego). I've got very, very good insurance through my wife's work. We both, for different reasons, need to see a dermatologist.

Two weeks ago, my wife made appointments for us. After spending several hours on the phone, the earliest she could get was mid-October.

THREE! WHOLE! MONTHS! from now.
