I doubt there's waitingtimes for 'emergencies'.
My aunt was diagnozed with lungcancer 1st of april 2008, she had her surgery on the 15th to have 1/4 of her lungs removed. By May 1st her ordeal was over and she's now fully recovered.
IF you have something non-serious, but which hinders your life..like a busted knee or something else that's not life-threatening if not immediately treated, then the waitingtimes can be several months and can be a serious pain in the ass (this is here in Finland).
..but then again, I don't know any horror stories where a family has to sell everything to pay their 100's of thousands of medical bills when the insurancecompany fucks them over etc.
..also nobody's forcing you to use the public/free healthcare system. You want to get your surgery next week? Go to a private clinic as you would do now, that's what I did.
