I don't have a choice of doctor or hospital for those illnesses, either. I don't get one. Which means that I have, of course, also been waiting substantially longer than a couple of years for some medical procedures that won't kill me any time soon, but do cause substantial problems.

Oh, you mean upper middle class and wealthy people having to wait a tiny fraction of the time that the rest of us have to wait? Oh, well. Can't have that, can we?
