That is an interesting article. I do not dispute that the study showed the average wait time of 79 days for a hernia repair. The search that I did was for running with a hernia and most of the sites that hit were from Europe mainly the UK and several stated the 4-5 year waiting time. Is that accurate? I have no idea. Were the sites I read scientific studies? no. What I do know is I want the government out of my healthcare and my personal life as much as possible. The funny thing is I have actually given them way more control of my healthcare than I like.
Were changes needed? Yes. Is Obamacare or socialized medicine close to being the answer? NO
On principle I also disagree something is better than nothing.
