GPs/specialists in the US see me instantly. In Canada, they would make me wait 45mins-hour. Waiting a bit isn't the end of the world IMO.
One time I had a pretty bad accident (in the US) .. I remember going home to pick up my damn insurance card before rushing to the ER in a cab. Of course ... despite the fact I was bleeding, the first thing the hospital attendant asked me for was my insurance.
I personally prefer the Canadian model over the US one.
