Waiting list lol? My State here in the US has an insurance program that allows low income people that don?t qualify for Medicaid to purchase medical insurance. I don?t qualify for that program because I make too much, but for those that do the waiting list is currently a year and a half long and growing. If you have a pre-existing condition even with insurance your wait for coverage is 12-18 months. Yeah there are no waiting lists in the U.S. lol what a bunch of idiots. Not to mention if you don?t have insurance your waiting list is indefinite unless you?re immediately in danger of death.
For the guy that posted the links to free clinics if you make more than 40-50k a year forget it. If you need anything that your typical family practice doctor can?t handle is his or her office you will be sent to the emergency room. Then if you aren?t at immediate risk of dying/distress from your illness or disease you will be sent home. IE if you walk in with cancer they will send you home and give you a referral to a specialist (that won?t treat you free) they won?t give you chemo. What is really ass backwards about how it works is if your cancer treatment would only cost 50k and have an 80% success rate they won?t give it to you if you can?t pay, but then when you comeback via ambulance 2-3 years later they will spend millions of dollars extending your miserable life a couple of extra weeks.
