As a counterpoint, I have far from "premium" insurance, and can see my doctor for any reason nearly always within a week, and have had multiple "outpatient" surgeries booked/executed within 3 weeks. I'm not sure arguing minor surgeries can wait for 6 months-1 year+ is a good thing. If the system cannot handle both minor and major operations within a reasonable amount of time, then something is very wrong.
