I don't think the single payer system here will treat me unless I am dying. I've waited four months to be scheduled for a dermatologist, each time it's a new "clerical error" or "honest mistake". First they "forgot to fax the file", then the dermatologist "forgot to process the fax", then they "forgot to schedule your appointment", surely they'll "get you in for Tuesday next week, if that's alright with you" :- \
