    Or something to do with another army of paid workers, going through training (student debt) and ending up as a huge group of middle class people with a job for life paid through the public purse. This group would be trained to carry out treatment (their betters told them to do) with out a quibble as they would lack the ability to question it.

    I think this would appeal to the old Marxist's behind the Science Media Centre

    Seeing that they seem to suggest that being on a waiting list is a passive treatment, I'm gonna go and suggest that they don't think much of the intelligence of patients, or have wildly unrealistic ideas about what patients want out of health care.

    "You're on a waiting list! Don't you feel better already?!"
    "No, I do not; it literally has no effect on my life"
    "Well, aren't you a difficult patient?"
    "Ugh..."
