That's because in the Netherlands everyone is equal. You're treated according to medical needs. Doctors don't care that you are a very important Google developer. They read your chart and know that you can wait. It's battlefield triage in Dutch hospitals. I find it hilarious that people think that they put you on list you for shits and giggles.

You're totally free to find a private clinic in Singapore (but let's face it most people who think they are affluent don't quite have the money for that and Google isn't forking over the money because you're not that important).

Why should anyone have to wait for medical care? Sounds like a broken system to me. Prioritizing who gets through a bottleneck isn’t equality.

Well ressources are not infinite. And in such conditions I would rather prioritize by need rather than by mean.

Dutch people with enough money who don't want to be on a waiting list, go abroad for medical treatment.
