That "in socialist European countries you get put on a waiting list" canard really doesn't wash anymore, either, since here in capitalist private insurance America I am at this very moment being forced to wait two months before I can even have my initial consultation with a doctor.

Two months.

There certainly are waiting lists for non-urgent stuff, and it does kinda suck. But FFS if you need help NOW you get it.

I'm in socialist New Zealand.... The current new government is trying to be less socialist, but they are getting a lot of bad press because some of their policies are just mean.
