This is the temporarily embarrassed millionaire argument.
The system absolutely sucks for you right now, but you're putting up with that, because one day, ONE GLORIOUS DAY, in the future, when you are filthy rich, you want to be able to skip all the queues.
(There are plenty of countries with socialized healthcare that has a parallel private healthcare system that allows you to pay more to receive better/faster/customized care, so that's not actually an argument.)
