I’ve had to wait 3 hours in an ER in America - also have had to drop providers because they only had appointments weeks out.
The decision to go to a doctor is a financial one in the US, sometimes superceding a health one. Our life expectancy is dropping as well. It’s a broken system and adding more of what is broken about it won’t work, if the goal is for society to be healthy.
