Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

That sucks. Here in Spain I'm free to go to the doctor, she'll tell me "sorry, we only have 10 minutes, you can get another appointment for next week and we'll continue"... but at least it's something.
In the US, they would never even consider giving you ten minutes as a walk-in, and the next available appointment would be three months from now
3 months?! That’s impressive. I’m waiting until December for an appointment I’ve needed since March.
And our mental health services are horrid too. A friend has been on one guy's waiting list for a couple years. They finally were just recommended a few other therapists and have been on their waiting list for a few months, though maybe soon...
