Re: Supreme Court Upholds Health Care Mandate

Looking at one sampling of the detail points on the medical survey (it won't let me cut and paste, so here is the specific link:MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL: AN INTERNATIONAL UPDATE ON THE COMPARATIVE PERFORMANCE OF AMERICAN HEALTH CARE)

Under timeliness of care:
Waiting time to see a specialist less than 4 weeks: US rank #1, (with 74% saying true, next closest was 69%, with others in the 40-50% area)

Had to wait over 4 months for elective surgery: US rank #3 (with only 8% saying true, others had percentages of over 25%)

But one we come in last : Primary care practices that have an arrangement where patients can be seen by a doctor or nurse if needed when the practice is closed, not including ER (high is 89%, we are at 29%) but why do they say not including ER, that clearly would skew against how our system works. Add in ER as an option, and I imagine it would be a much closer comparison.

an axe to grind is an axe to grind whether liberal or conservative based.
