Welcome to Quebec where a visit to the ER usually entails a 10 hour wait. Then they send you home and you have a 3 week to 3 month wait to see a specialist.
I once tried to get an appointment with a dermatologist - 2 year waiting list!
Ok... The healthcare system here in the US may suck but I can tell you I've never waited anywhere close to that long in the ER. (2 hours at most)
I can usually see a specialist within a couple of weeks, and even the next day, or same day, if urgent. And this is whether you're a full paying insured customer, on Obamacare, or on Medicaid. I've been on all three here with my regional HMO (Kaiser Permanente)
My wife is under Medicare with Kaiser Permanente, & very short wait time for anything...
