Healthcare?

While chatting with an unemployed candidate, he mentioned needing to head from West Jersey to Brooklyn NY for a doctor's appointment. This seemed rather odd to me so I inquired as to his choice of physicians. Apparently, he subscribed to a low cost heath insurance carrier, one of those that has popped up in this era of reform. They typically have arrangements with only a handful of doctors forcing clients to drive 40-50 miles for routine services in extremely overcrowded conditions. There is something seriously wrong with a system that severely limits healthcare service provided to the unemployed or underemployed.
