they do prioritise, and unlike most US care it's not based on how much money you have but on medical need. the system is being destroyed because it's being starved of funds by bad govt policy. i don't have a brilliant solution for you. even if you were able to get your friend to the front of the queue, that would mean someone else in greater need would have to wait longer. the quickest solution would be for her to pay for private dental care, like everybody in the US does, but that is expensive. maybe you could set up a gofundme account?
