Are you implying that a negative trade off is that you're not prioritized according to wealth?

No, I’m implying that spending you more money can get you care faster.

Even Medicaid or Medicare patients in the US don’t wait 16 months for hip transplants.

Are you not prioritized according to wealth if you can pay to skip the queue? Or as in the US, to require payment to even be in the queue.
