Yes, they are fairly common. Just look at the waiting lists in many countries with socialized healthcare. People can wait for ages to see a specialist or get a necessary procedure. It's not something that happens once in a while.

I think they are common enough. There are always going to be inefficiencies in any large - scale system. In socialized healthcare, with the government in control of funding and distribution, there can be bureaucratic red tape. This often leads to situations where patients suffer, like not getting the right medications on time or having to fight for basic medical services. It's a sad reality for many.
