I suppose this brings into question what exactly the definition of queue jumping is. A professional athlete with a knee injury could have his entire career derailed without prompt care - should he be placed in waiting while a bunch of retired 70 year olds complaining about a lifetime of aches&pain clog up the system?

As a net benefit to society, do we want a queue ordered by "first come first served" or an ordering determined by medical acuity/societal impact?
