Two-Month Wait to See Your Family Doctor: Coming Soon Under ObamaCare

It's already happened in Boston, where the state's ObamaCare prototype health care system "boosted the insured rate" by about 4%, and thus inadvertently lengthened the average Bostonian's wait time to see a family doctor to more than two months. By comparison, the same wait in Miami is only seven days.

That long wait has happened despite the fact that Massachusetts has the country's highest concentrations of doctors and despite the fact that Boston has 14 teaching hospitals.

All kinds of knowledgeable groups are predicting "crisis-level" doctor shortages as the result of ObamaCare. The American College of Physicians expects "a catastrophic crisis" to ensue from ObamaCare.

Reducing that crisis to actual figures, the Association of American Medical Colleges, predicts a shortage of 63,000 doctors in just 5 years, and a shortage of more than 91,000 doctors in 10 years. About half of the missing physicians will be family doctors, the rest surgeons and specialists.

As the editors of Investors Business Daily have pointed out: "A few Americans might be better off under ObamaCare than they were before. But for almost everyone else, health care quality will decline."

And, of course, those hurt worst will be the people who already are "most vulnerable and underserved." "And weren't those the very people the Democrats said they wanted to help by moving the country into a national health care system?"

November.

The people of our country desperately need a Congress with the political will to overturn ObamaCare.
