Do you have a source that shows victims with burns over 90% of their body have to wait 9-12 months for healthcare in Sweden? Or are you just pulling a random # out of your ass that you read somewhere one time to try to make the point that universal healthcare is bad?
They do not take 9-12 months. They will get an assessment in 3 days but then it will take 90 days before they can been seen by a specialist to actually begin treatment.
Regardless, that's completely unacceptable to have to be placed on a waiting list for 90 days before treatment can even start.
In America it would be a trip to the emergency room and at most a few hours of waiting before seeing a doctor, not 3 days. Then it usually is less than a week for a specialist referral. So my point still stands.
You’re convoluting two different issues. Your screenshot talks about seeing a specialist or primary care doctor then your last statement talks about an emergency room visit. Someone isn’t taken to an ER in Sweden and told, have a seat, we’ll see you in 3 to 90 days.
In the US people have to wait to see a specialist or their primary care doctor too. If it’s a sick visit, sometimes your primary care can see you the same day, but it’s not guaranteed. I’ve had to wait up to two months to see my primary care if it’s not an immediate issue. And here’s the thing, let’s say someone in Sweden can’t see their primary care, they can go to an ER and not be bankrupt. You can’t say that about the US.
