One of the arguments against universal healthcare is the long wait time to see a doctor. I'm a fully insured American and was just told that I can't get an appointment with an allergist for 3+ months despite the acute reaction I'm having that requires two inhalers.

I'm a woman with a deep family history of breast cancer and I had to wait 5+ months for screening. I also had to fight to have an ultrasound in addition to the mammogram despite it being medically indicated for many reasons. Explain to me how for profit healthcare is superior.

Management is going to need its own management to keep it from slacking off in any system.

Okay, but if I'm waiting for ages to see a doctor in the third largest city in the USA, having necessary tests delayed or denied, AND paying for the "privilege" with my insurance premiums, copays and out of pocket expenses, how on earth can anyone argue that for-profit healthcare is superior?
