I just love how seemingly everyone involved in this is like "Wow this is so much, I mean I can't believe money gets you this, but I have the money/have been given the money so I guess we should do it" like this somehow manifested out of the thin air and everybody was just going along with it. Horseshit.
At some point, someone sat down with a few other people and proposed "Hey what if we charge rich entitled people insane fees so they never need to wait among the proletariat for medical care, you know, the ONE TIME in life when everyone is more or less equal" and they went along with it and now it's a business. Because apparently, when you're wealthy, the best thing you can find to do with your money is demonstrate to everyone else (or at the very least shield your delicate eyes from the suffering of) those less fortunate.
Crap like this really makes me look forward to capitalisms inevitable collapse.

- BrandoElFollito 9y agoThis has never worked in the history of humanity, except maybe in some remote tribes. The closest was communism and French Revolution, which failed, among others, the idea of equality.

- BrandoElFollito 9y agoNo it does not make it ok, as the fact that my wife is seriously ill, that my parents have to worry about money for their treatemenrs, and like many other things. It is just reality.
