    Right?

    “people wait for MONTHS for non-emergent surgeries in places with universal healthcare”

    You mean exactly like how the doctors here schedule grandma’s knee replacement for May in January?

    There is no non-luxury millionaire concierge medicine plan eventuality here in the US where someone complains about chronic pain, gets a diagnosis that isn’t life threatening, and has the doctor pencil in their chronic pain addressing surgery for that afternoon.

    Just another empty strawman explicitly made to derail the conversation.

      Dude a millionaire isn’t even rich anymore. Any boomer who bought and paid off their house since the 80s-90s in a halfway populated area is most the way there just in home equity alone.
