I don't think anyone is saying that you cannot get the best healthcare on the planet if you have the required money. Lots of money.

The problem is that most people don't have that kind of money and the system as a whole is designed to take advantage of regular folks by not providing the care they need (regular care, not the best care).

It can get worse but yes… Concierge medicine will only grow as a chuck of the sector. Right now we have a 2 tier system and a very small high end 3rd tier and eventually the premium tier will expand and the 2nd tier will collapse
