When you establish a public service that is, at its roots, a service for poor people, you get a service designed for ... poor people. Lower quality. Lower tolerance. Less nice. I experienced that when I spent a few weeks at our local city hospital, which happened to be the only Level I trauma center. The facility was .. not dirty, but definitely industrial 'you're not welcome here'. The staff... rude and impatient.
If people are capable of paying for a higher level of service, they do it. The UK has the same thing.. heck, most countries with 'public healthcare' have a 'First Class' option to those with extra money.
Some animals are more equal than others. Welcome to the Farm.
