I’m not sure there’s much to take advantage of. It’s mostly rich dicks paying to avoid lines which aren’t even that bad. There is not a “truly no choice” context in Calgary, since care is given based on need. Sure, go to the ER with a cut hand and you’ll wait 24 hours, but a community clinic will be able to have you in within an hour most of the time. I remember as a teen I was very sick and was waiting at the ER of the children’s and when my condition got worse, they immediately started taking care of me. It’s a myth that anybody is any danger as a result of waiting for care.
What a nightmare. Double dipping, but I do actually kinda not feel that bad for anyone who falls for this, except for how it hurts the rest of the system.
A broken clock is right twice a day, but still broken.
