I think there are a variety of ways the US healthcare system is collapsing. One way I experience, relevant to OP, is that even with "good" health insurance, I can't manage to get an appointment with most specialists faster than 3 months, and I can't even see my primary care physician faster than 3 weeks (at best) -- in case of something "urgent", maybe in 2 or 3 days. This may be especially bad in the region I live in, I'm not sure. When I ask around, many of my friends in other regions have similar experiences. It is not in fact true that those in the US can generally see physicians without long waits for appointments, currently.
