Fun fact, so do Brits. Just try scheduling a procedure with the NHS and check the wait time.
Urgency based on medical reasons rather than financial wealth.

Crazy huh?

It's not "medical reasons"; it's overwhelming government bureaucracy in the UK. A friend of a friend broke his shoulder and collarbone over 14 months ago; he needs a new shoulder. He's been in a sling for over a year. Every couple of months, he gets a call asking if he still wants to have the op. It's disgraceful.
