Romney finally tells the truth: 'I wish I could turn back the clock'

20. I'm so tired of this crap about not being able to keep the doctor you have

My doctor left my health care plan last year. I belong to an HMO. Had nothing to do with Obamacare. I had her for 5 years, liked her alot and she left the organization. And guess what, they assigned me a new doctor and as much as I liked my old doctor, I like my new doctor just as well.

The idea that you are going to have your own doctor for life is a fantasy in this modern age. Doctors move around just like their patients do. We are a mobile society and we all just have to accept the fact that our doctor doesn't belong to me. Even within my own health plan, if I have a problem, I can make an appointment with my own doctor or go to their urgent care the same day, without an appointment, and usually be seen within a reasonable amount of time. My doctor has other patients besides me and if I have an urgent problem, chances are he can't see me that same day. If presented with the fact that I a plan doctor can see me within the hour or my primary doctor can see me in 2 days, I would choose the same day appointment since I have no chronic illnesses. My co-workers feel as I do. Most of us in need of a doctor just want to get in and out and be on our way to recovery. The days of Dr. Welby where you can call your personal physician and he tells you to come on in right now and he's just waiting for you to get there more likely than not, doesn't exist in the real world.

If I had a chronic and serious illness, I obviously might feel different. Thank goodness I don't.
