A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Me either! ๐Ÿคฃ But I've been witness to a few sports club/workplace injuries that have private insurance involved. You get to recover in a nicer room, but the procedures seem to always be in the same public hospital us peasants use.

Yeah. You get to jump the queue for elective / non-critical stuff. And even if the surgery is in the private system it's usually the same doctor. I had a pretty serious surgery done, and it was in private hospital, but the same doctor does 2 days private and 2 days public every week.
