    Isn’t that exactly the point that’s being made against a public health care system? At least that’s how I always understood it. “If everyone had access, I would have longer wait times” is exactly what I heard so often when I talked with Americans about the public health care system.

    I think you found a feature, not a bug.

      Yeah, with conservatives here in the US the “quiet parts” often include something about it being preferable for other people to suffer or die than for me to lose some convenience. They just keep getting louder and louder about it.
