I would like to see statistics for these systems as far as number of patients treated vs turned away, and time waiting to be treated. No matter the system chosen, there are only so many resources to go around. It seems mainly to be a choice of who doesn't get the care they need, unfortunately.

It’s true someone always gets squeezed. German and Japanese systems have about the same or sometimes better waiting times but doctors earn not as well as in the US.

On the other end, medical degrees do not amount to ridiculous student loans in those countries either. Tuition is usually on the order of $10k/year.
