A report on the Kaiser Family Foundation website shows how long it takes to get appointments with primary care doctors and subspecialists. The most dramatic finding comes out of Boston, where you can expect to wait more than two months to see a family physician.
I expect the delay in seeing a family physician results not only from the over specialization of physicians in Massachusetts, but also the expansion of health care coverage under the Massachusetts Health Plan. I wonder if this predicts access problems that will be happening across the nation over the next few years.
