Deferring medical treatment in London
ThisisLondon
Read it and weep. In Britain, a woman with a lump in her breast may have to wait 6 months to a year to even get it tested. Mind you, there is already a waiting time of months, and now those waits are being extended.
This is the reason I think we should be very cautious about throwing everyone in Medicare or Medicaid. I know in New Jersey it's very hard to find a doctor to treat you if you're on Medicaid, for example.
Update (I'm dyslexic, okay? I meant to write New Jersey. Agghhhhhh)
