This magical "good insurance" doesn't exist, because it's not up to the insurance company.
Scheduling is controlled by the hospital. Right now american hospitals are insanely booked out, and have been for many years. There's no magical insurance that bumps someone else out of the line.
If you aren't experiencing 3 month delays for non-emergency medicine, it's not that you have "good insurance", it's that you live in a place where the local medical infrastructure is seriously underutilized. This might mean you just live in a rich enough place where more hospitals than needed were built, or it could mean that a lot of your neighbors just aren't getting the healthcare the local hospitals were expecting to serve.
Or maybe what you are hinting at is that in your state, the affordable health insurance for most people doesn't actually get them any real treatment options, so only very wealthy people can afford to actually get treated, so hospitals around you don't do much healing.
And that's fucking ghastly and should be seen as the abhorrent thing it is. You have hospitals around you that are not treating people even though there are plenty of people needing healthcare. A lot of resources were already spent building that hospital and training doctors and we are not utilizing those resources because of some abhorrent "but then I might have to wait a month for a completely non-threatening medical concern" ideology. Yes, that's called efficient use of resources. Triage is a core part of healthcare. Sometimes that means someone else gets treated before you, and that's because they need it more than you do.
