One of the most often cited "horrors" is that Canadians may have to
wait for health care access, which the citers apparently think doesn't
happen in the US, I guess?  After calling around to the several
dermatology clinics in this area and explaining that a blemish on my
face that I've had for several years has begun to turn black in the
last week, I've been offered appointments in September and January.
We don't seem to have any dearth of doctors here-- 5 dermatology
practices alone-- as this is an area where people come to play golf
and bitch about how they did things different & better where they
moved from until they die. I don't, however, have a "regular doctor"
because, unlike those silly people who have that awful universal
health care who go to the doctor when they don't need to, I haven't
seen a doctor since the six week checkup after my daughter was born in
2000 because we can't afford it.
