I agree with you that even with socialized medicine, you wil have these situations. Another possibility though is that if every doctors office was free, you might have more choices as to where to get treatment. We might even have more emergency clinics and you won't be stuck going to the only place you can afford.

Maybe someone from Canada/France/UK can chime in later. Id like to hear if the situation is different there for emergency care.
