    Sure, it’s fine. It’s fine that people with means can see a doctor quickly, while those without cannot. And it’s fine that the wealthy can get those tests done right away, and those scans complete day of, while everybody else is on a 6 - 12 month wait list.

    There’s totally nothing absolutely fucking evil about that. And it definitely incentivizes politicians to improve the public system for the poor.
