I have no reason to mock american healthcare. Sure, here in Belgium I can afford to see a doctor, but I don’t know if I can find one.
My previous doctor retired and all the other doctors in the area have a patient stop. They will only give you an appointment if you already are a known patient. I can only hope one of them is willing to take me the next time I’m sick.
My dentist has so much work he doesn’t answer his phone and doesn’t has an online method to make appointments. You have to plan your next appointment when you visit him and his agenda is usually booked for the next 6 months.
Sounds close to what we have in the Czech Republic. And they even say that the doctors who came from Ukraine are “not worthy” to work here without a few years of reeducation.
Yeah, it’s terrible here. My doctor needs you to make an appointment, which is usually full for days (sometimes even weeks),… Last time I had something urgent I just went to random other one and explained mine was booked full… He took me, but he didn’t even come near me. 😅 It seemed that one had become a bit germophobic since Covid. Was weird to see a doctor act that way. 😅

Odd that your old doctor didn’t have a plan to distribute patients to new doctors when they retired.
They’re retiring, they ain’t got time for that. My dentist did the same.
