Private Health Care

I took this photo in the foyer of a very elite, swanky private hospital where I had a procedure today. In Ireland when you have private health insurance (expensive) you can get instant healthcare in hospitals with fountains in the main reception area. I pay for this insurance but I am acutely aware when I walk through its portals, that many people can't afford it and therefore must languish on wait-lists for long periods. Even though the procedure went well today I can't help thinking of those who are not so lucky.
