They are educated in triage, which is the only sensible way to handle emergency responses. A man with a sore throat should never take priority over a kid with a broken arm.

People think they are paying for medical attention, but what they are really paying for is their minor problems being taken more seriously than major problems that poorer people have.

Private for-profit healthcare, even in conjunction with public healthcare, is a blight upon humanity contradicting everything modern medicine stands for.
