I agree that some perspective is required here, but it is pretty amazing how terrible it is.
Like, we've been to the moon, have stuff like google to search through tons of information without leaving the bathroom, and people are trying to convince me we'll soon have useful quantum computers and autonomous vehicles, but it still takes me 3 hours to book a checkup with a doctor, and the soonest they can see me is 3 months from now. Then there's the billing system, which seems to have been devised to fill the maximum number of people's rice bowls. To say nothing of what happens to the uninsured. It's nuts.
