I think most of those people you're referring to that are making it sound so good, are Americans who are pining for it. And rightfully so.

And anyone implying that there aren't wait times in the US are full of shit.

I love when you're concerned about something with your health, the Internet can't immediately diagnose it, and your doctor's next 5-minute-window is in eight months, and you can't just go to another doctor because that's a whole drawn out process changing your "primary care provider" within your insurance that...oh, it just went up again suddenly for no reason? Hope you're within that window to switch insurers...oh they don't deal with your new provider, time to cancel that appointment and find another one.

It's ok, this only will take you 2 months of phone-tag and broken websites and emails stuffed into the tiny space between work and sleep. (Remember all the offices are closed on weekends!)

Phew! You've done it! ...Next opening is in 8 months. :D

It's such a perfect and amazing system. We're so privileged to have the unbridled, uninhibited, envy-of-the-planet freedom we're gifted with personally by the blood of lots of our troops we send to die in far off lands over the decades or something like that. /s

(For their sacrifice BTW they get slightly lower wait times and better care....maybe....? Roll the dice.)

Also, don't forget that all of that is inextricably linked to employment (COBRA is unaffordable bullshit).

Fucking awful system.
