That's why they oppose universal healthcare here in the US -- they wan't access to special treatment.

What they don't realize is they can still have Mommy's Super Special Boy(tm) access, since even in a system of universal healthcare, there's still a demand for private practice.

So really, it just boils down to them hating poor people and other marginalized groups

Also universal healthcare can afford specialized equipment because the amount of people they would service is higher than the profit driven hospital

Rather than the current system of specialized equipment still having to make profit so treatment costs increase
