Obama: You can keep your doctor and your plan
add: another curve ball into NHS is immigration. I have read numerous stories about immigrants get priority, their wait times are shorter, they can cut in line
30 day wait is not bad for NHS. I have heard nightmare stories of 6 week or 6 month waiting periods.
Canada has a similar awful system.
If I were a doctor or hospital administrator, I would prioritize cash patients. Cash is king and moves to the front of the line. Then private insurance. Then Medicare. Last priority is Medicaid. Ideal situation would be no Medicare and no Medicaid.
I can think of 3 things that would ameliorate the disaster called ACA:
  1. eliminate mandatory essential benefits
  2. allow catastrophic coverage in the individual market
  3. let organizations like Costco offer health insurance to its members
  4. repeal MacCarran Act so people can buy insurance out of state
