And so many of us need pre-authorizations. . . In network, out of network, it's ludicrous. [As someone who's seen more specalists than should be necessary]

My vision became distorted in June, wavy and spiked margins and irregular shapes. The earliest appointment I could get is in late December. The waiting list to fill canceled appointments is 31 people long. I'm 31. Hope I don't lose my vision by then.

Not if you are rich. All good. If you have limited financial resources, not good.

It's not even specialists. My friend had to wait almost two weeks after an ER visit to get in to her primary.
