For this I paid all of 10€ for the doctor's visit and nothing for the ultrasound on my boob.

I happily pay 22% tax that gets me free/low cost health care (some things are free while with others there is a small fee), paid for my education etc etc etc.
A 3 week wait for a mammogram when I found a lump would be unacceptable to me :shrug: Here, if I found a lump, I'd get an appointment with my doc within a day and have the mammogram by the end of the week.
