Don't even get me started.. I waited over 5 months to see a specialist over a medical emergency, and I am very much not alone....

We pay a lot of taxes... They go to ear-marks... Why does the entire nation need to pay for a bridge in Alaska or drug programs in Memphis? Let their own states and localities handle that shit.
Also here in America we sit in line just as much as the rest of the world. Call your doctor and tell them your ear is ringing for some unknown reason... How long are they making you wait for an appointment? Mine is making me wait 3 fucking weeks... Tell me that doesn't compare to socialized medicine.
