    It’s also true of healthcare in the US. When my primary care provider left the practice and I had to reschedule with someone else, they weren’t able to get me in with someone new for another 8 months. And no one there is taking new patients. It’s also a months-long wait if you need to see any sort of specialist.

    Not to mention I pay a lot of money for a health insurance plan that won’t even cover one of the meds I was recently prescribed because they disagreed with my provider’s prior authorization. Surprise, I have to see a specialist. So, we’ll see how it works out in 5 more months when my appointment is. At least I have an HMO plan, so I don’t need a separate appointment for a referral first before insurance covers it.
