This last summer it has been my sister under going chemo and seeing ever other specialist for heart, liver, blood even thyroid all with out a cent coming out of our pockets. She has had two knee replacements over the last several years and the longest wait was 6 weeks. Don't know if we are just lucky but I can't complain.
