It's the chief complaint put forward by fox news. It's just a blatant lie. I've experienced healthcare outside the US (in the UK) and it's on par with US healthcare in terms of wait times. Seeing a GP was same day with walk ins. When not busy, it was just a 5 minute wait. Seeing a specialist can take time. I knew people that saw a 3 month wait to see a specialist in the UK. In the US, I just experienced a 3 year wait getting a specialist for my kid with autism. I had to go out of state to get the initial diagnosis, but to get local followup care I had to do that 3 year wait. After that, we were able to get a bunch of referrals to other issues. What constrains wait time is how many doctors and specialists are working in a field. That has almost zero to do with the underlying payment system of a healthcare system.
