The US system is terrible for wait times based on appointments as well as ER visits in my experience. In cities like Albuquerque, you can wait months to see a specialist. Even in major cities, there can be enormous wait times and many GPs simply aren’t accepting new patients.

I have a very high end insurance plan, and I do not wait. My experience is very different from many of those in the Bay Area, and is very, very different from New Mexico and most of the US southeast.
