It takes 6 to 8 weeks to get in to see a gastro when you have insurance and a physician referral around here. I knew someone who was referred to an orthopedic surgeon for ACL surgery and had to wait 3 months to get in. I had a co-worker be referred to Physical Therapy for his back and it was a month before he could get an appointment. Those were all people WITH insurance. Without insurance, you have to have proof that you are able to pay also. I'm not familiar with what type of Free Care program you're referring to, because there isn't one in Michigan. There is medicaid, but if you have more than $2000 in assets (including a car or house), you don't qualify. Sure, you can get Emergency treatment, but that isn't health care. That's not mammograms, routine tests, or non-life threatening issues.
