Well yeah but you have those long wait times to deal with right?

Here in America, I only had to wait 4 weeks for a video conference (in-person would have been 6 weeks) with my primary care physician so she could recommend me to a specialist that doesn't have any openings until mid-August. Thank goodness I live in the land of the free where I only have to wait 3 months to see a doctor who has about a 20% chance to cancel on me last minute due to a "scheduling issues" and leave me hanging for another 4-8 weeks.

AND I get to pay for some of it out of pocket despite paying monthly for better than average medical insurance!

I've opted to wait a year to change insurance companies so I could resume seeing my old doc instead of starting the process as a new patient under someone else, because honestly I'd be seen at a comparative time.
