I didn't conclude that. On the other hand, based on my experience I did conclude that the American healthcare system is designed to favor those who can afford to value their time over their money. It's not much comfort that a doctor has the right knowledge if they're too apathetic, overworked or inexperienced to get results that are any better than essential oils. At least with essential oils I know they won't work instead of being let down by a well-credentialed veneer of expertise.

Interesting. I would think the opposite is true in the US. If you have money you can pay to get to the front of the queue.
That's what they said. Valuing time over money means spending money to save time.
