    This kinda thing doesn’t turn on over night. You might be able to afford private, but very few will be able to. The American paid system has a 3-9 month wait for doctor visits right now in Tucson. My doctor also doesn’t even physically examine me anymore because they’re so rushed to get in other patients, because capitalism.

    Edit: not that capitalism is evil, it just has no place in healthcare.

      I’m okay with both opinions of capitalism as evil or not. The American healthcare system is, sorry, it is dogshit. No one should be living under that system, it’s only better than nothing at all, I guess.

        As a Canadian living in the southwestern US because I physically cannot handle the cold, the healthcare here is worse than dog shit.
