UnitedHealth CEO shot

For serious conditions like cancer, the process starts within 7 days.
Just wanted to touch on this. I was diagnosed 2 days before Thanksgiving with a basal cell carcinoma. A skin cancer, but in terms of cancer, it’s honestly pretty trivial. The surgery to remove it is 99% effective, and if you get it removed you have a 100% survival rate. So I’m not worried at all. But it’s still cancer, and if left untreated, will eventually be fatal.

But the earliest date I was given to get treated here in America was December 31st, a full month and 5 days after my diagnosis.

Everyone says there are wait times in single-payer countries, but there’s absolutely wait times here, too.
