    You narrowed your question to "taking appointments".

    Do you think scheduled appointments are all that comprises a physicians work week?

    No democrat president will take on the issue again after the ass kicking both Clinton and Obama have recieved for trying to take on the issue.
    exactly. The UCA sick-care corps (and their investors) will make damn sure, as they've done to Clinton and Barry, they NOBODY touches their cheese.

    Look at the bright side, you have one issue you can and moan about for the rest of your life.

    I wouldn't doubt it. Did she had to pay out of pocket though? Or was this covered by traveler's insurance?
    Her credit card included medical insurance coverage when traveling.

    I answer them quite often. Thanks for confirming it wasn't necessary at all. Keep working on one that's relevant...baby steps.

    Nah, I'm fine with asking irrelevant questions in response to an irrelevant question.

    I'm not a fan of ACA but what was in place before wasn't anything to write home about either, tbh.

    The saddest part is that this was a great opportunity to actually do some radical change (i.e.:single payor) and it was wasted. Then again, that vote demonstrated just how much of the same GOP and democrats are.
    7-8 years later, still feel that way?

    We may get a major party pushing for universal health insurance in 2020.

    "The saddest part is that this was a great opportunity to actually do some radical change (i.e.:single payor) and it was wasted."

    there was NEVER a great opportunity for radical change, improvement

    BigPharma, BigInsurance etc "allowed" weak ACA to pass, only because they all got paid $10Bs more, lost nothing.

    Any true Medicare for All will be gutted by the same crowd, if not actually blocked.

    Americans get whatever the oligarchy allows them to get, and the oligarchy ALWAYS get paid.

    I do. I think it will be used as a campaign tool, and then if they manage to win back the presidency, they'll back down. Either coz they don't control Congress, or because it will be another 'consensual' law that doesn't address cost, etc.

    Trump might be a terrible president and the GOP a terrible party, but the democrats are far from inspiring any kind of confidence. Both sides play gotcha politics, chicanery, and a reform like that requires seriousness, compassion, planning, negotiation... I don't see it.

    I don't mean to single her out to be mean, I bring her up because she's the epitome of idiocy in this matter... as long as there are dumb, uneducated, uncultured people like rmt around that deal largely in dogma, it's going to be extremely difficult to get serious reform in those areas. They're just looking for a soundbite or an excuse to pull out the pompoms and vote against their own interests. I've disagreed with a lot of people, but at the same time had good, thoughtful conversations about this topic throughout the years, and it's not that tough to find some common ground. But Congress (and politics in general) are not in the business of reasoning or serving their cons uents these days.

    I sadly concur. I keep mulling over moving to one of the social democracies. The optimist says to stick around and fight it out.
