That's not how it works, though. You can wait months for a specialist in the US. Especially a neurologist (as in an MS forum). And then, you have to get one in network OR pay more - and your insurance might not cover it. You have business rationed health care, and some folks are going without. Some folks are now thinking about different programs for poor folks... but we know those don't cover everyone with need. On the other hand, I now live in Norway. The health care system, in general, works. I'm never going to be bankrupt due to medical expenses and I know other people aren't using riskier and harder to use insulin because it is all they can afford. I can get to the doctor in a timely manner and if there is a wait (for non-critical things), there is an actual safety net that means I can take the time off work while I wait for the MRI to open up. Even when there is a wait, it isn't nearly as bad as it would be in the US.
