On: LLMs should not replace therapists

[pseudosavant]

Just going to point out that down here in the US, there is tons of waiting with private insurance. Good luck seeing your actual primary care doctor (not some other doctor or physician's assistant) within 3 months. Specialists? Prepare to wait even longer. On an HMO insurance, make that even longer.

While private vs public might affect supply, there are other big factors going on that are limiting access to care.

That’s very much a local issue and also patient choice.

I have zero issues getting a same day appoint where I am, specialist appointments within a couple weeks.

But I also don’t go to a major university medical center which has long waits even for primary care.
