> Prefacing this with that I'm about as Libertarian as they come Sweet. Are you ready to take the next, and final step? They say that the difference between a Libertarian and an Anarchist is roughly six months (paraphrased). > In every aspect of healthcare in the US, I've been shocked at how long you're just expected to wait for absolutely everything. Yeah, it's completely fucked. Finland's system is similar in the waiting sense, at least. > In your scenario B), I'd expect to be able to book an appointment online, arrive two minutes before it's scheduled to start, and walk out fifteen minutes later with whatever result you were looking for 99% of the time. Exactly.

"Yeah, it's completely fucked. Finland's system is similar in the waiting sense, at least." Finland has UHC don't they? My point is basically that the funding mechanism doesn't (at this moment) seem to have anything to do with what service you receive. "Exactly." I would pay ridiculous amounts of money for an Uber for healthcare. As long as I didn't have to be put on hold while I was trying to do so. I don't take nearly advantage of what I should in the healthcare realm because I have to make a phone call, take time off work, make transportation arrangements, and then know I'm going to be subject to something annoying somewhere in the process. If I could press a button, see what appointments are available, and then know it would be annoyance-free once I arrived, I'd probably use my available healthcare a much more appropriate amount. "They say that the difference between a Libertarian and an Anarchist is roughly six months (paraphrased)." Yeah, I think that's about right. I think I passed that mark maybe four years ago?

  Alright, maybe I was talking about something different. > Yeah, I think that's about right. I think I passed that mark maybe four years ago? "Libertarian" tends to refer to Minarchists, these days. But alright. You're there already, good :p
