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.

3 months?! That’s impressive. I’m waiting until December for an appointment I’ve needed since March.
Only 10 months to go for me for a preliminary consult for a surgery to alleviate chronic pain wooooo
when I needed a new PCP because I finally got insurance after a decade of just hoping nothing went too badly wrong, I ended up having to wait 8 months after 3 local practices weren't accepting new patients at all.
One time I had to schedule a doctor's appointment so far in advance that by the time my appointment was coming up, I knew it was going to conflict with my final exams. The semester hadn't started when I made the appointment. When I rescheduled, it was going to be another five months. So I said fuck that, and that was nearly two years ago. Not sure what the answer is supposed to be.
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...
