Care to cite those waiting times? I think it's a common misnomer about their systems. In England, you can go to whatever doctor you want. There are standard waiting times for non life-threatening surgeries, but it's not months and months in many cases. Go to Europe and ask some people if they like their health care system and you're giong to get a positive response.

As long as US insurance companies are in it for profit, then I want to change the system.
