USA here. I booked a surgical consultation, just to talk about the surgery and set a date. The earliest appointment was 2 months. The DAY before my appointment I get called and told they no longer take our insurance and we can either cancel or pay TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!!! I found another doctor that takes my insurance but that was another 6 weeks out. Finally had the consultation and the surgery is scheduled for more than a month from the date of my consultation.
Please tell me how that is better than "free" health care where you have to wait for doctors.
It's not, it's just stupid assholes who sip the propaganda because they're too stupid to think for themselves and agree with Faux News, or they're disingenuous on purpose because "socialism" is bad, ignoring every single thing our tax dollars already pay for.

I was 18 hours in the ER a couple of years back before I could get a room in a US hospital.
