No, they should not be able to. The most in need of treatment should get treatment first, period. Paying to get seen quickly is quite literally paying to have someone higher up on the priority list bumped down due to their financial capability.
“Lol sorry mate, yea you’re in excruciating pain and can afford a private doctor in 2/3rds of the world, but maybe you shouldn’t have done something stupid to wind up this way. Please wait 6 hours.”
“Why are all the wealthy people moving away???”
I personally take pride in not giving the Canadian government their absurd tax rate anymore.
If it means literally not dying, buying a plane ticket to a place with healthcare seems reasonable to me. It’s what people in 3rd world countries do, so why shouldn’t we?
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.
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:
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.
The funny thing is that there is privatized healthcare in Canada on top of their universal healthcare, if you see yourself more important than the peasants who need to use it.

Honestly disgusting rhetoric.

Truly spoken like someone who hasn’t tried to get good healthcare in Canada
Are you saying that the privatized healthcare doesn’t exist?
