OK Eric, name some efficiently run US Government social service programs. Also list the tax rates, population, domestic spending, military spending, and foreign aid contributions of the five Government examples you suggest we copy.

Also consider that many of the 51% who claimed that they could not get an appointment the same day or next day were most likely on a Government program such as Medicare or Medicaid. Clinics who provide medical services for these programs don't have the resources or the medical staffing to give instant care. Many providers opt out of the programs and cater to people with 3rd party insurance were you can get seen the same day or next day.

If you're a bum or a drug addict and run out of pain meds you might need to wait a couple of days before seeing a doctor at the free clinic. If these people want better care I suggest they lay off the drugs and get a job. That tattoo of the upside down cross on their face and the hoop nose ring might have been a bad career move.
