I will suck, as it sucks now - but at least ALL people will have access to medical care which is kind of overdue since we live in 21st century in highly developed industrial country LOL. We will still have private clinics and doctors too to go to if one is not satisfied - actually, I think all will be same for people with HMO ! We will all have HMO and pay some extra if we want to go out of network (read go private), what we are already doing anyway. I don't see how much it might change since we do not have fantastic health care now and all of the sudden we will not have it any more LOL.
There will just be some more bureaucracy and maybe longer waits for specialists but definitely not as long as 5 months ! As I said, I think it will be like HMO for all . I was on HMO for long time - and I can honestly say I never had a problem with it. At least, not more than with any other insurance. Doctors are the ones that make all the difference - not a system. I met some fantastic doctors in HMO and some bozos in "high end" so , go figure ...
