VIP healthcare treatment

I thought that there has always been a certain equilibruim point when you get to take medicine and the such. It seems not the case nowadays.

For now, even VIPs are now treated much more efficiently, and much better healthcare than anyone else who is considered a 'standard patient'.

Is it me or am I rocking the right boat here in this case? Isn't healthcare meant for everyone beyond the measure of who you are, what race you're in, what ethnic origin you belong to?

Or is it the fact that globalization has also hit healthcare services to bring in money into untapped resources?

It is understandable that an individual needs to pay sometimes for some medical treatment but that another person who is of a 'different class in society' than another should be treated any differently is simply a ludacris idea altogether.

So then, why do we do have these measures implemented in the first place?

The Hippocratic Oath means nothing when the health industry is one of the worlds biggest money makers.

its all about the benjamins as they say in the US.

It's sickening to see how health care industry has been conducting itself lately.

health care should be about providing quality health care at a low price. I know doctors need to pay off student loans, but my god, its become ridicoulous. For healthcare these days you have to give up an arm or a leg.

and there shouldn't be any differences in what class you are in society, but of course this will issue will never go away.

twice in a row? I must be lucky.. lol ;p

And I do understand where you're coming from. But then again, think about it, they (doctors) need to get paid for their 'hard' work - right?

What's more sickening is that the issue still exists? Or that it is rising...
