We have waits for specialists too. To get my vasectomy, I had to wait six weeks from my referral to my first consult, then another month from the consult to the actual surgery.
And then I got a bill from the surgical center, a bill from the urologist, and a bill from the anesthesiologist, despite only going to one office for the whole thing.
Where the fuck are you in the US that you do not have to wait for specialists? You living in Fantasy Land? Even a simple specialist like a dermatologist is a 2-3 month wait.
OECD data shows that wait times don’t significantly vary based on how a system is funded. The USA is just plain bad at wait times. That being said, the UK’s system is not the best example.
Yeah but in the UK they have to wait 2 weeks to see a specialist

I’m in the UK. From my first enquiry to the operation was about the same…
… but I didn’t get any bills after.
If I tried to go see my primary care doctor right now in the US, I’d probably have to wait at least 3 months for an appointment.

He said UK. We only wish we only needed to wait 2 weeks for a specialist.
Yeah I know, it was a cruel joke. But if you talk to a con about this, you’re sure to find this in their argument salad

Lol, we wish we could wait 2 weeks. My wife needed a tumor removed in her stomach and took 6 months.
I just scheduled and appointment for my PCP. His next available is in June. Fucking 4 months for primary care.
I’ll take wait times in the UK with no bill over this bullshit any day.
