Emergency room is the model for universal health care in America
Sometimes you wait for 6 hours sometimes you walk in.
It is a universal service.

I bet that you don't wait six hours if you have a really big emergency... unless you're talking about hospitals which really, really suck.
In that time they could easily transfer you to another hospital if they're overloaded.

What he means is that if you want healthcare treatment you can go the the emergency room of any hospital and they're required to treat you... even if you can't pay.
Some people go for things as simple as sore throats and pregnancy tests.
The healthcare systems of (pretty much) every country in the world are castles built on sand ... As long as healthcare costs continue to outpace GDP growth every healthcare system is doomed to fail and the only question is when.
An excercise I would like to see people do before they proclaim that another country's healthcare model is somehow magically better is to gather obesity statistics from a couple of different sources (there are large differences between the sources) and to create a chart with the per-capita cost of healthcare and the rate of obesity by country. I don't want to spoil the surprise for you, but the per capita cost of healthcare is directly correlated to the rate of obesity; and a country like France (with it's 9% to 11% obesity rate) has a massive advantage in healthcare costs when compared to a country like the United States (with its 30% to 40% obesity rate). The problem all western countries face is that the obesity rate continues to grow and no one knows how to stop this.
