Medical care in the US is:

1. 3-5 months to get a PCP if you don't have one
2. PCP talks to you for 2 minutes, tells you to eat/sleep/exercise better (pick one), that'll be $200
3. That doesn't work so you call to set up another appointment, and they're fully booked for the next 3 months
4. PCP asks if you really tried to eat/sleep/exercise better and suggests you try mindfulness or whatever
5. You beg and plead for a referral
6. They are mildly annoyed but finally give you one (+$200)
7. The specialist is fully booked for the next 5 months
8. The appointment starts 40 minutes after your scheduled time. Specialist acts mildly annoyed and barely listens to you before insinuating that maybe it's all in your head and you should eat/sleep/exercise better, wait and see for 6 months. The appointment lasts a total of 5 minutes. (+$300)
9. It still doesn't work. The specialist is still fully booked for the next 5 months.
10. Specialist is still mildly annoyed and still barely listens to you before still insinuating that maybe it's all in your head and you should eat/sleep/exercise better, but this time they finally order a test of some kind ($300 + testing)
11. Good luck getting the test scheduled within the next 3 months
12. You need to see the specialist to go over the results. They are still fully booked for the next 5 months
13. It turns out that it wasn't all in your head. Specialist finally prescribes something. ($300 + meds)
14. You better hope the meds work if you don't want to repeat this cycle until the heat death of the universe
15. You better hope you don't need surgery. Unless you are literally about to die you can go ahead and 2x those months.
