In terms of waiting times to see a doctor or specialist (the only cases where stats for the US seem to be available), the US looks a touch better than average in waiting times for healthcare within comparable countries: https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/health-at-a-glance-2025_8f9e3f98-en/full-report/waiting-times_3a1021fa.html https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/health-at-a-glance-2025....
