My experiences here in the state o' Maine aren't really that bad. But I have health insurance which covers all of my doctors, and I don't have to wait to see any special doctors (optometrist) all I need is a referral from my primary care physician and insurance will pay for it, though I'm not sure if they will pay if the referred to doctor is out of network, because mine was in network anyway. But I am aware of the plight of those who don't have insurance because health care is expensive, so people wait until they have to go to the emergency room, which leads to the overly crowded ERs here in the states.
