I know when my mom had cancer, instead of waiting weeks for her first chemotherapy session, if we could've paid extra for faster care, you bet we would've. At least we would've had the option as opposed to just sitting and waiting
If you take another essential service like education as a comparable, there are plenty of private schools out there. Do they necessarily have the best teachers? I don't think so. The rich can send their kids to these private schools all they want. It'll just take less pressure off the public system. Schools compete for the best students every year, and students can pick and choose which one they want to attend. With health care, we are forced to just sit and wait
