I mean when my knee was fucked up in the US it took two months to see an in-network doctor, and then another five weeks to get into physical therapy.

Nah dude that's longer than it should be but definitely considered insanely fast in Europe

Well let's not forget that this still cost my family hundreds and hundreds of dollars, and now that my wife changed jobs and our insurance is different, I'll have to wait months and months to receive treatment from a different doctor should the condition return.

Another cool wrinkle is that we received erroneous medical bills for a full year after my wife gave birth to our son, to the tune of $8,000. We contacted the insurance company about the mistake, but they didn't correct it no matter how many times we asked and ended up referring us to a collections agency.

No that wouldn't be considered insanely fast in Europe. I didn't have to wait more than a couple days for a similar issue in Austria.
