>>By the way, the position on the waiting list is often adjusted according to the urgency of one's situation This is only technically true, and ignores the fact that many medical procedures that are done when something is not critical means making a full and complete recovery with no life long effects but delaying the treatment while sitting on a wait list until the issue becomes "critical" means the problem may only be able to be partially rectified and the person may suffer from life long effects due to the delay in treatment At the end of the day government run health systems control costs by limiting the supply and ignoring the demand. This creates an untenable system that can never be "fair" to anyone.
