This is a myth that I keep hearing from Americans with no experience with single-payer systems. Why do you believe this? </p>
<p>I never had or heard of delays being treated in more than 20 years in Europe. In fact I find it's much harder to get a fast doctor's appointment in the U.S..</p>
<p>It is much more common for an American to have a heartbreaking medical-expense dilemma than it is for a person in a single-payer system. The bottom line is, no one, even the most conservative people, in those countries wants to switch to OUR system.</p>
<p>I believe your myth of delays and waits comes from the actual, serious problems in the U.K. system-- which developed only when anti-government Margaret Thatcher set about deliberately weakening the universal health care system there.</p>The Sanity Inspector commented on 'Mary Katherine Stout praises President George W.

<p>Fee-for-services can certainly hurt--but it only hurts once. High taxes for crummy, unmotivated service is a chronic ailment.</p>Sedulia commented on 'Mary Katherine Stout praises President George W.
