On: The day my brain forgot where my back was

Agree. I live in a mid-size city with a couple of world-class medical facilities. The waits for specialists are about 3 months.

Which is about the same time (well, a little bit more) as the wait times in public hospitals in awfully socialist Norway. State covers 62% of the cost up to a maximum copay, after that they'll pay the rest for you. Having various chronic illnesses, I don't mind this at all.
