I see it just the opposite way.
As millions more people become insured with a relatively static number of doctors, waiting will only increase, not decrease.

So voting "the opposite way" will do what to alleviate the problem?

How will that reduce/not increase wait times?

Are you saying that "voting the opposite way" will lead to fewer people having insurance, so those who have it will wait for less time? And if so, do you believe that is a good thing? And for whom? And if not, how to you see that "the opposite way" to voting Democrat is going to help? Or do you just think it can't make it worse?

Here, Buster is going through the VA. Maybe you are trying to say that if more people have government based insurance, the VA service will get worse? I'm not sure they necessarily use the same services, but I'm happy to be corrected on that.

I never said it would or wouldn't.

see above.

No, I'm not saying any of that. Sheesh.
I am not the one who made the claim that voting Democratic will reduce wait times. Perhaps your questions will be better answered by the poster who inferred it would.

Maybe it will.
Who do you think will pay more to hire doctors after millions more are added to the system?
Who will be taking the lowest paid positions? and why?

Democrats support big government, right? Lots of social programs, right? Increased government spending, for things like the VA, right?

3/4/2012 That's the 3rd of April. 2 months. Guess she thinks the glasses will work a miracle. I can now guess most words with right eye, if they'er 16 point bold type. Glasses my ass!

Sorry, I must've been having a British moment. That's absolutely ridiculous. it's not like you're waiting for your first appointment, she knows exactly what the problem is and how serious it is.






Classic, you have no reply, if you did you'd start your own thread. You got pwned.

not even close. Start a thread and we'll take it there. I've no interest in shitting on BB's thread any more.
or go fuck yourself - that works just as well

So insurance should be made less attainable so those who are insured can be seen more quickly?

[classicman]

Is that really what you got out of my post?

[monster]

No, that was a question related to what I learned from your post.

Which was that you believe that more people insured and no more doctors (assumption not mine) = longer wait times.

The obvious extrapolation leads to my question. I'd be delighted to learn of any alternate extrapolation and indeed any better way forward.

[classicman]

Correct. That is where it ends. You do the math.
