An official survey of the British National Health Service (their form of socialized medicine) showed that 42% of newly diagnosed cancer patients wait longer than 2 weeks to see a specialist. And, shockingly, a full 20% had to wait longer than a month.
In my town, I can get a patient with cancer in to see an oncologist in 2-3 days.
I guess the benefit of socialized medicine is that the sickest patients die before they use up any resources.
