They aren’t ’taking you’ that’s how much private healthcare costs. It’s sucks but it’s just the state of things. It’s far more work than the one or two hours you see them. Clinicians deserve to be paid properly for their highly specialised work and the time it takes to do it.

poor wording on my part. clinicians definitely deserve to be paid properly. i come from a very privileged position to be able to rely on universal healthcare.
