Irishmen, you have got to do more educational reading. There is no OCA, there is an ACA and your claims couldn't be more incorrect. The ACA does not set any payment level, (your evidence for the $11.75 is what??) Payment is set by the private insurance company you or your employer has selected. The ACA did not establish any single payer system, although the insurance company with the highest patient satisfaction ratings and the lowest overhead is run by the government.

I always try to give a link for claims and statements, from non-fringe websites, and ask that you provide one for your assertion that 115000 people are waiting 18 months for beds in UK (not that the NHS has any relationship to anything in the US either presently or in the ACA yet to be implemented) Just FYI there are about 135,000 hospital beds in UK.
Statistics » Bed Availability and Occupancy Data – Overnight The average patient would have to be staying in that bed for about 16 months for your statement to be close to accurate. I and Mrs. B have had no problem having our well visit done and covered. The doctor was paid $110.89 for the well visit and my bill was zero.
