There is this danger in mdoern political thought which thinks of flesh-and-blood human beings in terms of "classes". i.e. low class, middle class upperclassOne can be accused of bigotry when thinking of people in terms of races and that there is somehow some kind of hierarchy of races. But the to the people who accuse others of being "racists", thinking about humans in terms of "classes" is alright.When a human is in dire need of life or death health care, it is IMO cruel and inhuman to think of those suffering in terms of "classes".The only fair, just and sustainable way to health care and medical services is to get the govt out of the picture TOTALLY, and allow free competition amongst providers of healthcare and medical services, under the necessary institution of the rule of law to protect against criminal negligence and fraud.There is no way a private businessman will allow a 28hr wait for a private hospital bed, simply because he will miss an economic opportunity for PROFIT if he does, or lose the customer to his competitor who can provide that bed, at that time.Socialised medicine will always fail, eventually.Singapore has still not yet embarked on the slippery sewer toward full-blown Universal healthcare which is a good sign. However, with socialist ideas abound amongst the people and in parliament, there is no telling how it will turn out in the future.
