At the end of the day its your funeral, and you can take that quite literally. Either you learn to set aside your bias and understand how medicine works elsewhere and what socialized medicine actually is instead of being a good sheep and believe that is something found only in poorer countries with poorly working systems.
And you learn what little value insurance companies actually bring to the world of medicine and how they are a for profit organization what means in addition to increasing the cost significantly for people that need help they are also the reason why hospitals and doctors get paid out as little as they do. No wonder you have a staff shortage when the debt left behind from education (another amazing system your kind seems to believe is good, might as well just sign yourself into slavery at this rate) isn't being covered by what you earn as a doctor.
You aren't going to be put infront of the line in an emergency room in Europe for non life threatening injuries. Yes instead of kicking people out on the street to die over here we make people with more money wait for small injuries such as a broken leg over let's say stab wounds.
If you want expensive healthcare where you pay for more than it is worth, where you create a system of who pays more gets first care. Sure america is great for that perverse system, so long you can afford it. If you want good care that is given to you in a decent time frame and it covers everyone and it doesn't leave you behind in debt you have nothing on Europes systems. And oh yeah, on top of that we have private insurers so you can get a nicer room and such, so we do have that but something as perverse and digusting as leaving people to die as seen in the US when needing to decide between a broken bound and a fatal wound, yes you win.
(ps you would have gotten quicker care if you went to an actual GP or GP point instead of the emergency room, since those over here are actually intended for actual emergencies, not for people who can't walk and fall in dumbest way possible)
Actually you still lose since at the end of the day your insurer has so many possibilities to kick you out that you end up without care eventually anyway.
Aren't you also one of those far righties that always harp on about patriotism? Explain to me what about letting your fellow countrymen die so you can enjoy overpriced slightly quicker care is patriotic?
