Whenever I read a post like that one, I always hope the poster will have to experience for himself... hopefully soon ... and perhaps under an emergency situation. Noting like a brush with death to wake a person up.

I didn't get past the first 2 pages but you guys are KIDDING with your idea that this just happened with the ACA right? I mean, you can't be that dense.

This complaint about the time spent with doctors, it been an issue for longer than I can remember! I remember talking about this nearly 20 years ago and who knows how long before I noticed?

10 minutes has been a standard office visit for quite awhile. Maybe 15 in some places. Maybe you get more time if they aren't booked or at certain times of day. I too bring up several issues and sometimes they get handled and sometimes they didn't. I am aware if there were 20 people in the waiting room and sometimes I would be the one waiting because of other people's "other issues".

Don't be a fool. Stay classy.

His "version of reality?" Or your delusional view of panacea under government run health care? Personally, I think it is you who is brainwashed.

I go into the exam room, and the nurse wants detailed explanation of my problem. When I told her that I had more than one issue, she said, "Oh, I don't know if he will have time to talk to you about that. You are scheduled for only 10 minutes".

Wow, is there any other profession that makes $35 bucks for only 10 minutes? I miss the days when a doctor was willing to talk about all my problems and discuss a game plan instead of being rushed in and out like cattle. Ten minutes isn't enough time to do a good examination, but this is the future under Obamacare, and it will only get worse.

Thankfully, the doctor did take a bit more time to discuss a new way to treat my cholesterol since my insurance plan would stop covering all cholesterol name brand and generic drugs on May 1st. I can thank Obamacare for that one too.
He makes hundreds of dollars in those few minutes with you. 35 bucks is just the copay...

And you're even more sad because tons of people who never had ANY time with a doctor will now cut into YOUR time even more? Poor guy. I guess we should feel sorry for YOU, huh?
What a pathetic acceptance you have of this mess you all voted for.

You libs claim to care for people, but here you are, right here, illustrating what us on the right have known all along. You don't care at all for other people. The fact that you could tell someone that the fact they aren't getting enough time with their doctor is no big deal, you know, you all wanted healthcare for EVERYBODY, is sickening.

Liberals disgust me.
