Union workers).

If I am going to pay for private care then 1. That money could then go into creating private facilities reducing the amount of surgeries needed in the public OR's and 2. reduce the number of people that use those public OR's as well.
So the regular person actually gets their surgery faster than they would had I not gone to a private doctor.
A major issue that people seem to have against private care is that I might get surgery faster than you and even if that means that you get your surgery faster you would prefer that we both have to wait then me going first by paying extra money. (By you I mean that in the general sense not Nuclear in particular).
