Yeah, but you can't equate "this issue is well-documented" with "this issue comes up more often than it doesn't". Hell, Kingston General's wait times were never too bad any of the times I had to go there, either for myself or when taking people who lived in residence. And that's in a college town where people get sick about as often as you please.
Your reasoning does not seem to hold water, since you can go to different hospitals. So what would the reason be? I think it's more likely that the answer is convenience: people just like going to hospitals that are closer, usually.
And I know education is (mostly) socialized in the US, but that ain't got much to do with systems outside of the US, now do it?

In Sweden (socialized health care) people in general can't choose a hospital or specialist. You can under certain conditions, but it's usually complicated - there's a general rule: only if your county's hospital(s) have a wait time of more than 3 months, you are allowed to seek treatment in another county's hospitals or specialists (but in practice they cheat with those 3 months, which become 4-5 months).

Doesn't seem so dumb a question now, does it Khuutra? ;)

Thanks for the info, slimebeast.
But nah, everything I said still stands.
