You can't pretend the US doesn't have wait lists of its own.
I'm trying to schedule an MRI and the first appointment was 2 months out (I might have been able to get an earlier appointment somewhere else, but the neurologist said I should just keep this appointment). I've been trying to schedule PT for a couple months, as well. I've called the PT office every single day for over a week waiting for my approval to come back from billing so I can schedule an initial evaluation.
Ironically, there's a program funded by my state offering in-home OT services twice a week. I don't pay anything out of pocket. It did take a month to set up, but everything that would have been covered by insurance would be in an office (but they didn't even have those options available).
