    I went to an ER for some potential heart issues. They treated me on site in a few hours, but didn’t really diagnose anything - I had to go to my primary care doctor for that.

    I had to wait 2 months to see him. Then I had to go get labs elsewhere a month later, and wait 2 more months to see my doctor for the results.

    I w3nt to the hospital for a suspected heart issue, and didn’t get my lab results back for 5 months. Turns out it was stress, and things have improved with anxiety meds, but if I’d actually had a heart issue I would have died.

    I live in Texas and have “great insurance.”

    Oh - and they just dropped coverage for my doctor.
