I'm not so sure about that.When my mother was ill with cancer I would have to say the system failed her.She waited several months and three cancellations for an operation for pancreatic cancer until they told her it almost was to late.Anyone who knows anything about pancreatic cancer knows what I mean.It tends to spread very quickly.

Finally and literally at the 11th hour she got her surgery.Her surgeon,one of the best in the city told us he got all the cancer.Her radiologist said he would schedule her for radiation and that her prognosis was excellant.He told her that she had a 4-6 week window of opportunity to begin radiation for the best chance to beat the cancer.She began her radiation 6 months to the day after he said that.He said the window of opportunity had closed by 4 months but would still go ahead with it.My mother lived 4 more months.

This isn't a once in a while thing that happens.It happens everyday to someone else and everybody throws up their arms and say, our hands are tied.Funny how a former mayor of the city I live in as well as a member of parliament get diagnosed with cancer and get fast tracked but normal people who have paid into the system their whole lives tend to get screwed.

There already is a two tier system in place.One for people of influence,the other for everyone else.Why do you think politicians are against a two tier system? Because the only difference would be that when they get fast tracked,they would have to pay for it.Why would they pay for something when they can jump to the front of the line when it is already available for free?
