Derived termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Experience as a general concept comprises knowledge of or skill in or observation of some thing or some event gained through involvement in or exposure to that thing or event. The history of the word experience aligns it closely with the concept of experiment. The concept of experience generally refers to know-how or procedural knowledge, rather than propositional knowledge: on-the-job training rather than book-learning. Philosophers dub knowledge based on experience "empirical knowledge" or "a posteriori knowledge". The interrogation of experience has a long tradition in continental philosophy. Experience plays an important role in the philosophy of Søren Kierkegaard. The German term Erfahrung, often translated into English as "experience", has a slightly different implication, connoting the coherency of life's experiences. A person with considerable experience in a certain field can gain a reputation as an expert. Certain religious traditions (such as types of Buddhism, Surat Shabd Yoga, mysticism and Pentecostalism) and educational paradigms with, for example, the conditioning of military recruit-training (also known as "boot camps"), stress the experiential nature of human epistemology. This stands in contrast to alternatives: traditions of dogma, logic or reasoning. Participants in activities such as tourism, extreme sports and recreational drug-use also tend to stress the importance of experience. From Wikipedia under the

It seems that we hear the extremes of experience from people who are subject to government medical programs. Some write of never having to worry, never waiting, never paying. Then, we hear other extremes. A recent answer related the experience of a relative dying in a hallway at a hospital that had put him on a waiting list for treating an infection in his foot. Granted, it is impossible to prove these anecdotes, but I would like to at least hear from the personal experience of people writing here. If you like government health programs, have you had the need to put them to the test? Or has your health care been routine? Asked by Joe S - Wed Jul 22 14:11:01 2009 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A.

Here it's probably also important to note the doctors do not "work for the government".
