If they don't die waiting! Good use universal coverage will do if you're dead.
The average wait times for appointments in Boston for cardiology are 21 days, dermatology 54 days, obstetrics-gynecology 70 days, orthopedic surgery 40 days, and family practice 63 days.
The average cumulative wait times for the 5 specialties just mentioned are,
Boston, 50 days
Philadelphia, 27 days
Los Angeles, 24 days
Houston, 23 days
Washington, D.C., 23 days
San Diego, 20 days
Minneapolis, 20 days
Dallas, 19 days
New York, 19 days
Denver, 15 days
Miami, 15 days
Portland, 14 days
Seattle, 14 days
Detroit, 12 days
Atlanta, 11 daysBoston is dead last. Looks like you'll have a better chance of speedy care in one of them Southern places.

Best think again.
State Insurance != better health care delivery.
Simple economics.
http://www.bostonherald.com/news/opinion/op_ed/view/2011_0510romneycare_proves_failure
...a new report by the Massachusetts Medical Society finds that “more than half of the state’s primary care practices are closed to new patients, while the practices that are still accepting patients have increasingly longer wait times.”
.... Generally speaking — and it varies based on the kind of doctor — our wait times are about twice as high as the rest of the U.S., and the problem has gotten worse under Romneycare.
“Massachusetts is learning a basic lesson in economics,” Peter Suderman of Reason magazine told me yesterday. “More coverage does not equal more care.” Suderman, who has been covering Romneycare for years, says nobody familiar with simple economics should be surprised at the results.

How do you know Anthony Weiner is in trouble?
The liberal media has started to identify him as Republican.
He is now officially toast.
Republican Weiner uncertain whether lewd photo was of him

If I had any illusions left about fair reporting from the main stream media I'd be furious. But I don't!
This is hilarious!

If he was hacked, why isn't he having law enforcement investigate? Hacking a congressman's accounts is a crime.

This is well, well worth the read (30 pages). It seems to hit all the major points, and some minor ones.

I am not sure how we can truly judge God, IF such a being truly exists.
Indeed, we only know how we would act in a given situation based on what we ourselves know (and that is a limited knowledge).
We judge the actions of others that are like ourselves (competent human beings) based on what we know they know or think they know (and even in this case, that knowledge can be flawed.)
But a God that is supposed to be omniscient?
Even among humans, a difference in knowledge will lead to a different set of actions.
If two men see a robbery in progress, and they vary from each other in knowledge, it is reasonable to surmise that they will act differently.
The first man might know that he can easily wrestle the armed robber to the ground and defuse the robber's threat.
The second might know the same, but he also knows that the robber has a bomb belt and would choose to self detonate if he is physically restrained.
If we asked the two men what they would do ahead of the action, they would likely give us different answers.
The first man would choose to take action, and the second would not.
If we lacked knowledge about the bomb belt ourselves, we might judge the first man as good, but the second one as evil (or at least indifferent to injustice).
My point is that we cannot know how an omnibenevolent, omniscient, omnipotent being should act without being all these things ourselves.
In my country, the justice system demands that we be judged by a jury of our peers.
But how could we pretend to judge the actions of a being that is supposed to be omniscient, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent? We are not a "peer" to anything like that. We are at a different level.
My 4 year old son is not my peer. He lacks my knowledge. His judgement of my actions is not going to be based on a level of knowledge that I have. Therefore, he might judge my not letting him do something that gives him pleasure as being "bad." He doesn't know what I know.
