When they start rationing healthcare people will go in for fewer routine cancer screenings. It’s hard enough to get me in to a doctor’s office where I have no wait now. I can’t imagine sitting around for hours when there is nothing in particular bothering me. As a result more people will delay cancer diagnosis and more people will die from it.

It's worse than that--once a diagnosis is made, a person may have to wait months or years to have anything done about it under socialist systems.

***rationing healthcare people will go in for fewer routine cancer screenings.***

Super idiot Edwards proposed mandating yearly checkup for all Americans.

Do the math.

There are less than a million licensed physicians in this country.

If they had to do yearly physicals on everybody, they would have no time for anything else.
