Show me one system of socialized medicine where people have shorter waits, more treatment options, and more choice in providers than we do here.

Who do you mean by "we"?

Lis and I had exactly one choice in health care provider for our psych meds. And it wasn't the doctor we wanted to see, it wasn't someone we'd ever heard of.

In what way do Lis and I have choice, when our insurance company directed us to see Dr. Bayard, with no other options?
