Totally agreed about the problem of long latencies due to bufferbloat in our medical system. I ran into it last year and I believe it significantly raised my risk of death.

A suggestion in case it's unfamiliar: there are doctors who don't take insurance. I can always see mine within a few days, for $80/month. (I set this up after the above experience.) It's absurd that I have to do this and also pay for insurance separately (paying much more than I did before the Affordable Care Act made insurance plans for catastrophic medical costs illegal) -- but that's where we are.
