Americans don't have to wait, if they can pay enough money to make other people wait, usually through having superior insurance. And this is anecdotal but my own father had to spend 3 months in 24/7 heart afib as he waited for his thyroid to be removed. And that is with every doctor knowing for a fact that having afib is both damaging to the heart and may result in a deadly heart attack at literally any moment. But because his insurance isn't as great as other people's insurance, he has to wait in line with all the poor saps while people with money get treatment within hours or days.
The idea that American's get better and more immediate healthcare is only true for people with money.
