"I had to wait X times for treatment" is a very common complaint in the US on top of "I can't get treatment because my insurance doesn't cover it".

Same for "medication wasn't available": "my insurance doesn't cover the medication required".

The US literally has a video genre of "rationing of insulin to survive".

in uk, good thing is, if you do get to see the doctor, you don't have to pay anything but the tricky thing is "getting some one to see you".

on average, system is good for bottom half but system is pathetic in terms of services after paying such high taxes.
