Getting an actual specialist appointment takes a long long time
Well, thank the gods of capitalism that I only have to wait 5 months to see a specialist (for a basic intake appointment, mind you, not even one for any real treatment) for the debilitating spinal injury that is causing me severe pain and mobility issues every second of every day. I'd hate to have affordable universal health care that might make me wait to see a specialist.
It depends... how much money and how many slavish cult followers do you have?
