When would you like to see your primary care doctor? We have an appointment slot in 6 months you have no idea if you can get the day off for, but you can waitlist for an earlier appointment cancellation that you probably won't be available for either…

And your PCP will only have 5 minutes to spend with you when you do get an appointment because insurance companies have turned health care into car repair work. Physicians get paid by the job (patient), the job pays “x” time, the insurance pays the least it can per job, so the medical office crams and many jobs into the alotted time as possible so they can make money.

But you don’t have to wait in the American Health Care System.
