I used to think of it that way; however, one day, you may be the person who is in urgent need of help. It’s better to be in the system with an established history for if that day comes.

Exactly.

Yes, there are wait time... Because they are helping people based on a priority system.

In the US, for example, there is no/short wait times. This is because a lot of people that need help are just suffering in silence due to lack of funds for treatment. (Or they turn to chatbots and suffer worse outcomes)
