    If you’re in excruciating pain, you aren’t going to wait longer than people higher up in the priority list. Paying to get ahead means you’re skipping people who need the care more than you do, and you’re saying that you shouldn’t have to be treated like the rest of the poors.

    Honestly disgusting rhetoric.

      I’d love to agree, but 2 months ago my mum had a minor stroke and waited all day to get seen. Here’s the chat from her time:

      Mum triage messages

      She could have driven to the states and paid for treatment in that time. Paying means you’re skipping the queue? I’m asking for private hospitals that can actually manage their queue.

        That says nothing about who was ahead of her in line. Sounds like you need more funding for Healthcare, not bullshit privatized hospitals that cause poor people to die or go bankrupt.

          Sure, country needs more funding for healthcare. Hope they have fun with that, I left. I voted and advocated for education and healthcare while I was there, but I’m not gonna die over it. I got other things to do with my life.
