I'm curious about this - why are other people able to get doctors while you are unable to (asking in utmost earnestness)?

Also, it seems that your condition isn't life-threatening (considering you're posting here and all). While the average, generally healthy, person will likely need to wait longer, they at least have access to care in developed countries outside the US.

The final point I would add is that private healthcare is still available, even if only available in a different country. I think that's a reasonable trade off- most people can get care readily, while those who need more can pay more to get more timely care.

There is huge span between life-threatening and healthy.
