Whearas in the USA, it's a max for profit Casino that is controlled and ran by Insurance companies lol... doctors can't even spend time with you because again Insurance companies won't pay or say you can only spend x amount of time with a patient. For anyone arguing... ask any DR when things got worse, ACA is universally the answer... it didn't fix anything but broke a lot. The only other real option today is go full blast with single payer... also the pharmaceutical ads have to go asap and be tightly controlled.

The Sun, Daily Mail, and Mirror (via their web sites) report emergency response is horrible. Just getting from where one is stricken to the hospital is a hit or miss thing. ER response time is measured by a calendar.
But once at the hospital there are too many reports of people left waiting in the hallway for sometimes hours before even being seen.
The US system has its flaws, but single payer will make things worse.
