Troll 09:58,

I did say that our health service has problems, and it's true that one of them is waiting time.

However, the subject under discussion was the difference as to cost, and I would far rather have a slow service, than none at all unless I could pay for it.

For people who are below the poverty line in the USA, the choice on offer may be which way to die; disease or starvation.

We don't have to weigh the relative importance of food or medication.
