I’ve lived in Austria and Germany and had the misfortune of needing medical care multiple times in both in the almost 20 years I’ve spent in them so far- I’ve never had to wait long or pay much (most of the time pay nothing). I got good care, even though many doctors and nurses seem to have not hears of the concept of bedside manners.

UK for one from my experience.

Also GP appointments within a few hours - twice in the last fortnight

Everyone I know in the UK said they could only get GP appointments days in the future, never on such short notice.
