And Duke hospitals, one of the most funded medical hospitals in the country, had an average of over 24 hour waits in the urgent care and ED for most of this year.
On average wait times are the same or longer in the US then the UK. Which is far more damning for a country this big with so many varying medical services.
Wait time averages ranging from 1.5-4 hrs are awful. But I'm not seeing anything to suggest a 24-hr wait is normal.
I've been in and out of ERs more often than I'd like to admit over the last ten years. I'm not sure where you're getting your data, but over 24 hours is nothing close to the domestic average.
even underfunded, the wait times are on-par or shorter than the us
That varies heavily by region and service. I've been in and out of urgent cares in Houston in under an hour.

I meant to say wait times on average for US hospitals and services are similar to that in the UK.
