    You see it the wrong way.

    Because there’s a private option, some procedures are either not available or drastically down-prioritized in a public-private system. Shoulders, knees, foot ops to promote proper mobility get a “well let’s wait a bit … or you can go private?”. And the best docs go private to maximize the filthy lucre, so sometimes I worry it’s gonna be Dr Nick I get. it never happens, but it only has to happen once for the GoP to be right.

    Because there’s a private option, the number of docs in the public system go down. And wait-lists go up. I know we’re doing … okay … but I imagine how much better it could be if doctors were all in the same pool to burn down the queue.

    There’s public health, and then there’s the cancerous taint of mercenary fucking doctors and their macabre lobbyists. It just matters how fucking corrupted a given system is on a scale from Antarctica to America.

      I think it is wrong to assume “all doctors are greedy.” ask any child why they want to be a doctor and they’ll tell you “to help people.”
