I think it depends on who is jumping the queue. If it is the doctors kids avoiding a line it is one thing, but if it is politicians or anyone who donated money to politicians who are getting preferential treatment then there is a problem. Those are people who are in a position to fix the system*. As long as they have a workaround in place for themselves then they are fine making the rest of us suffer through everything. I think that is why people were bothered that Danny Williams flew to the States for treatment.
*If there was nothing wrong with the system they wouldn't need to jump the queue.
