The actual NHS isn't super great at the moment. Mental healthcare is in total disarray and we have an A&E crisis every single winter, but waiting a couple of months for treatment beats a billion dollars of debt .

NHS is peak starve the beast liberalism in action. Just remove funding and increase micromanaging until it's poo poo or downright breaks, then blame it on the social democrats and privatise the whole thing. Because private is perfect.

Everybody talks about wait times in other countries but I had a three month wait to see a rheumatologist to diagnose my arthritis and in that time I went from mild pain after mowing the lawn to being stranded halfway up my stairs in the middle of the night and calling out for help.

Sure would be bad if we had to wait for needed medical care in the USA. Oh, wait. Back in March of this year, I started experiencing rapidly-degenerating vision, and got referred to some specialists (got referrals to literally every person with this specialty within 500 miles, or 800 km for metric folks), and the soonest appointment I could get was December. As in, this month. My primary care doctor had me go to a specific ER attached to a hospital system that had a bunch of vision specialists (including one of the folks with the specific specialty I needed), which got me on their priority list and got me an appointment in "only" a month and a half (I get the feeling they rescheduled somebody else).

my experience with us health care is seeing a general doctor about ongoing health conditions. "have them schedule you an appointment" "sorry we literally cannot schedule literally anything because every slot for the entire time we are able to add appointments is full, maybe you can try calling every day at 6 to see if someone cancelled" or god, the group appointment lmao, that was a real health care funsie

Our entire political establishment has decided to kill the last good thing about our ruined country The social democrats go along with it then gain nothing in the end because it's a deeply stupid ideology that's formally committed to believing in nothing compared to liberalism which is content to just keep it between the lines I'm pretty sure it's a 6 month wait here to get a primary care doctor. Depending on what's wrong with you waits extend into the years. When the NHS is formally shuttered it's not getting replaced with anything better, which I don't think is news to anyone here

tokin opposition posted:I've had three therapists in as many months because they keep quitting mine stopped taking my insurance after two years and basically said "peace, thanks for coming to all your appointments, good luck finding a new doctor". lol some of the poo poo that one general practice place did was real funny. the "group appointment" they tried to get everyone into (to free up single patient appointments) basically had you sign away a bunch of privacy, then in the appointment it was you, the doctor, a few assistants to handle check ins/vitals, and uh, 20 other people seated in a big circle, going through everyone one by one the only "private" moments were when you were behind the corner for your vitals check and to discuss what you were there for and anything the doctor should know notably not private was the general conversation between you and the doctor, which is how i got to hear the medical problems and ongoing issues of the 11 people in front of me in line greatest health care in the world

I ended up with heart failure almost seven years ago because a random cold infected my heart (probably; it's not proven, but my cardiologist has ruled pretty much every other possibility out). My insurance will only pay for an echocardiogram every three years to see how my heart's doing, so if I want to do one every year like my cardiologist would prefer, I'd need to spend around $10,000 on each one at any of the hospitals or imaging practices around here. Instead, I'm paying a concierge doctor a couple hundred bucks a month, and she has all the poo poo to do an echocardiogram in her office. I don't exactly make a fuckton of money, but this is kinda important to staying alive, so I take a chunk out of my monthly budget for the retainer fee, and I'm saving a shitload of money over what I'd be paying my insurance for them (and that's before we talk deductible, coinsurance, etc.).
