Then you are indeed fortunate in your country of residence.
For now, I consider myself more fortunate than you are simply because we have not needed to wait for treatment for any significant ailment. Or for check ups, for that matter. I remember Gaynor's brother's issues. It was hard enough waiting a week longer than we should have for a biopsy but that was due to my husband refusing to listen to me and the small town doc being an egomaniac, not due to insurance.
Now after retirement, I am sure I will look at things differently. Depending on how our health holds up.
