Re: SCOTUS LIVEBLOG - Obamacare Mandate Survives [W:125, 384, 635, 652, 758]
AdamT you AGAIN prove your yourself simply to be an Obama cheerleader arguing the IMPOSSIBLE. Same health care providers + more patients = shorter wait times? From your own source, that is NOT a true "conclusion" see my snipette from it:
{There is no systemized collection of data on wait times in the U.S. That makes it difficult to draw comparisons with countries that have national health systems, where wait times are not only tracked but made public. However, a 2005 survey by the Commonwealth Fund of sick adults in six nations found that only 47% of U.S. patients could get a same- or next-day appointment for a medical problem, worse than every other country except Canada.
The Commonwealth survey did find that U.S. patients had the second-shortest wait times if they wished to see a specialist or have nonemergency surgery, such as a hip replacement or cataract operation (Germany, which has national health care, came infirst on both measures). }
Oh my! In the U.S. only HALF can get a same or next day APPOINTMENT! Help us please, oh mighty Obama, so that the other HALF of us do not have to wait 2 whole days for that NON-EMERGENCY doctor appointment!
We KNOW that adding 30 to 45 million people to the SAME number of health care facilities is NOT going to CUT WAIT TIMES, so please AdamT explain to us just how ObamaCare will NOT increase our wait times? Crickets...
"In reality, both data and anecdotes show that the American people are already waiting as long or longer than patients living with universal health-care systems."
