Health care in the US is crap in general. I got my skin split above my eye in a mosh pit not too long ago. So I go into the emergency room. And wait. And wait. And wait. And wait. I'm no primadona, I saw people had real issues and of course they should be taken first. But by the time a doctor came to see me, she told me that the wound had sealed and it was now too long since the accident for them to reliably stitch it up. I.e., because of my 5 hour emergency room wait, I had waited too long. So she said, stay out of the sun, and drive safe. And they billed me I think $90 for that.
