I have another idea for healthcare
What about taking healthy peoples' unused appointments and using them for sick people. Kind of like rollover minutes.
I have Kaiser and did not go to the doctor for almost 5 years. All those unused appointments could have been used for someone else.

C,
It's a good idea, but what about all of those minutes lost when they would have been running 20 minutes late if you had in fact had an appointment?
Gawd, once they forgot me entirely (well, they were occupied with an older lady who had cut herself seriously and the surgeon who was supposed to see me was stitching the lady up) I kept peeking out and asking if the doctor was still going to be able to see me, I could hear moaning and screeching in the next room and when I finally got dressed and left the room it was dark and they had put the money away in the safe and could not give me a refund for my co-pay. I was pretty fit to be tied, I can tell ya.
Uhh, don't you get a pap every other year? If not, you should!
No Karen. I go every once in a blue moon. They always say, "Come back before another 5 years."
That's because the bottom line and not your health is what your HMO is interested in... Cervical cancer is easy to detect and easy to cure, if caught early. My risk is very low and I still went every year for a pap up until now. Now I go every other year. Anyways, blink and you'll be in your 60's (as will I) and then you won't have to have that uncomfortable test anymore, I think.
Lecture over.
If you haven't had one, go please!
