Title says it all. I'm in a country that has public health care, and in many aspects it is very good. Only downside is wait time. There's also less and less funding every year, less and less quality, the whole process to destroy and later privatize what is a natural monopoly (such as water, electricity, etc) and a basic necessity for human life and dignity, and so on.

With that said, is it wrong for me to benefit from what is essentially a better service (because of factors mentioned above, not because private = "better") because it is a capitalist enterprise? Same debate could arise from private energy companies, private transport providers, etc.

    As others have said the fact that you even feel like you need to pay for better care says more about the state than yourself. I live in the UK and we're one of the worst countries for trans healthcare that doesn't outright ban it, I have several trans friends who sought out private healthcare for this reason and I do not blame them at all.
