Hey, guys. this is getting a little heavy. I have a more down to earth observation.

Have you ever heard the legal maxim, “justice delayed is justice denied”? Why can’t we apply that same principle to health care.

Ken, this is the result of Platonism. In the Platonic ideal world there is no commerce and therfore no need for money.

As for time? I suppose people could discuss philosophy with each other while they stand in line.

Linda, have you noticed that people on the left never seemed to be bothered by rationing by waiting.

Paying for care with time is okay. Paying with money is not okay.

If you put these people in an MRI machine you would probably find some physical basis for this bizarre way of thinking.
