While technically true, that's disingenuous. You paid no additional marginal cost. The incentive structures matter.

I agree incentive structure matters, and it's why I consider the OHIP model superior: "I need care and it's already paid for, so I get it", vs the US model "I pay more upfront to do the triage nurse's job myself so I can then pay again if I do decide to see the doctor after all and geez I hope I can afford the bill when it comes"

GP is not the one being disingenuous.

Who do you think is being disingenuous?
