Well I don't wait when I make an appointment and just got in to see a specialist on the same day. I guess you better go find a differen doctor as yours seems like an Obama voter.

You may not have heard, but nothing in this bill is set in stone.
Now is the time to contact your representatives to voice your comments about what you do and don't want in there.

When you actually read the pages from the bill and compare the wording with this thread, you quickly realize several of the these paraphrased pages are a bunch of crap. Spin much??

Keep defending your foolish leader. Why in the world ANYBODY would want the government to run their healthcare is beyond me. Oh its free right? LOL. I hope your one of the first who has to wait in line for months to get treatment.

So you won't be using Medicare when you reach 65?

I've mentioned this before, but, when I lived in NJ, I had to schedule appointments with my endocrinologist one full year in advance. Wait times for mammograms, colonoscopies and other preventive tests were six months or more. This is not unusual in highly populated, high income areas where most people have insurance through their employers. Having insurance does not mean my doctor will see me faster.

You seriously need to stop drinking the tea. Did you get that from one of those discredited GOP commercials

Interesting because I live in NJ and the longest I ever had to wait for a mammogram was one week to see my OB. My husband called just this past Monday to schedule an MRI and got in the SAME day. I am not sure what doctors you were seeing but I have NEVER had to wait for more then a week for an appointment. Oh and I had to take my son to see an Pediatric Endocrinologist of which there are very few in the state and still got an appointment in 3 weeks.

I have NEVER heard from any family or friends that live in NJ having to wait 6 months for a mammogram or any kind of testing like that.
