I some ways, a long wait is a good thing as it separates those who are actually sick and in need of seeing a doctor -- and those that have a sore knee, or a headache, etc. and will go home rather than wait.

lol.. logic like this is why many Americans need to fight to keep the government out of health care!
.. ie.. better to go home cause it's just a headache. why waste the governments time and money treating a headache... unless of course it's a symptom of a much larger problem, like um... a tumor?
