Australia:

We have a public health system, GP can organise xrays, ultra sounds however still need a GP to refer you to a specialist first for an MRI as they first look at you. Major surgery etc there a long wait times.

You can have Private Health and pretty much still have some wait times but they are shorter.

In reality we are living longer and so many modern things are killing us that we are seeing Doctors more frequently. There just isn't enough to cope with the aging population so I do not think there will ever be the perfect solution unless we all willing to pay 50% tax and medical facilities, Doctors and Nurses triple in the next 50 years.
