4-6 hours wait if there is trauma patient. They take precedent. I went to urgent care in Torrey Pine a few months ago and no one was there. I was the only patient, so I went in immediately. Although, it was ~11PM.
If you don’t have insurance, Hospital can’t turn you away. They have to treat you. If you tell them, they’ll work with you. They have an uninsured fund.[/quote]
AN,
There are many, many stories just like that right here in the U.S.
My mother was from Austria, and the health care system over there (socialist) was FAR superior to anything we have here.
One thing I will say is this: you cannot have a well-functioning socialist system if you have open borders and uncontrolled immigration from much poorer countries. It is destroying many of the systems over there just as it’s done over here.
