The current system of health care in this country is similar to the system in operation in Legoland and Disneyland to decide who gets to use it next. I had the unfortunate experience of going to Legoland a couple of years ago with my children. I discovered that one got to queue for hours and one got a few minutes on the ride. However, there was a way around that. If one was rich enough one could skip by the queue of people, if one had the neck and if as an adult one did not mind skipping by children to go on a ride, one could do it. Frustrating as the experience was in Legoland, it was not that serious but I could not with any conscience pay my way ahead of anyone else.
