My mother nearly died from a burst appendix waiting hours in the ER with a boatload of other people, in a state far from California. Vets barely looked at our dog during the last few visits, like they were in a mad rush to process a hundred other dogs. They could barely address a single condition (out of multiple afflictions) before throwing us out the door. And I have had other experiences like this, in rich areas, with shockingly expensive looking facilitys. It feels like healthcare is overbooked.
