Our group members are against this idea. I don't know where this $75,000 number comes from. We obviously are suggesting a non-refundable health premium. It will create a fast-track queue for rich people and it treats the others as second-class citizens. So if that idea stands, does that mean we should charge a premium for patients if they want to wait less and just let other people wait longer? This is unfair.
