I always hear this retort though, the wait times are insane which can be problematic for people with serious urgent ailments, anyone wanna share their experiences?
Edit: thanks for all the replies so far, keep em comin. I don’t personally believe this take but I never quite have substance to point to. Any statistic or polls would also be helpful!
It's admittedly psychiatric care not emergency medical, but I've been impressed by Norway this year.
After a decade or so of chaos after leaving high school, I had realised earlier this year that I had some issue and sought help.
Start to finish, from GP appointment -> psychiatric evaluation -> tests -> specialist -> testing meds -> follow up, took 6 months, and I'm $275 out of pocket, and meds for 1 month cost $6.5.
Two things worth noting are that they absolutely nailed identifying my issue first go, and that I responded well to the first thing they prescribed me, neither of which necessarily happen for everyone.
