[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 610679, member: 2189"] Speaking for Atlanta, the first article is about dead on. Generally speaking, 7 to 10 days is typical. In my doctor's case, some of that may be driven by having the patient getting the blood work done first and having time to get back the results before the actual physical. More hard evidence to beat you up with about what you're eating and lifestyle.:happy-very: However, I don't know how true that is elsewhere but it works and seems to make sense for me. Just on a hunch, as boomers get older & needing more care, the load on the system at some point just in sheer volume will have to have some effect. Then again, the old adage of location, location, location comes into play. High retiree/older population area would seem the most to be impacted but that's just a guest. Even wait times are a mixed bag in Canada for example from people I talk too, outside this forum for the record. Thanks to Truthdig, I did see where Bill Frist in effect [URL='http://swampland.blogs.time.com/2009/10/02/bill-frist-on-health-bill-id-vote-for-it/'][COLOR=red]endorsed [/COLOR][/URL]the current healthcare proposal by saying if he were still in the Senate, he'd vote for it and he knows he'd take heat too. Frist's support is no surprise as this current plan IMVHO is a big power grab by big PhARMA, certain large healthcare industry giants and certain insurance interests and nothing to do with good, honest, quality and most importantly, a transparent healthcare system. I'm against the potential ability of control mechanism of an all in one single payer system but it could be done only if the level of transparency was above board and the patient was allowed the doctor and method of his/her choice. The current system, the so-called capitialist republicans under the guise of free market is a corp. protection rackett for a created cartel and is not about freedom or free choice at all. If the democrat or Obamacare as it's called does anything, it increases that corp. power, the very thing that got us where we are.
