If you think there aren't long waits for non-emergency treatment in the US, you are lucky or a moron.

I needed a sleep study. An inpatient sleep study is booked 3 years out here. Good insurance.

Seeing that sleep study doctor in the first place just to get sent a $150 gadget that listens to me sleep? I waited two months. The follow up appointment? 3 months.

Do you know why non-emergency care waits that long? Efficiency. Turns out, hospitals want to not spend extra money on doctors they don't need whether they get paid by the government or this weird industry called "insurance" we have developed.

Go head, tell me about how you can get any treatment or any scan in a week without fail in our wonderful overpriced system.
