    Agreed. This is not even a matter of receiving treatment more quickly and being more comfortable during it vs being forced to wait. It’s more like an obscenely luxurious holiday vs being left to struggle with nothing and often die.

    The gap is widening on everything. I often think with the rise of privatisation (and other factors) Australia is slowly becoming more Americanised.

      Such programs for the mega wealthy should be legislated to contribute a percentage of profits to programs for everyday people struggling with addiction challenges. Someone who can afford $600,000 could afford to pay 10% more and this could go community programs. That’s my wish.
