What story could you possibly make this into except, "Rich fucks pay to get ahead of poor sick people in emergency rooms?"


Users of this service aren't allowed to "get ahead of" anyone. This service only allows people to wait at home rather than waiting in the ER; the wait time is still the same, it's only a bit more comfortable.

Thanks for your input. ;-)

That is rather clearly the whole point, but I'm not going to argue with you--I'm just alterting you to the fact that the public response to this will be overwhelmingly anti-elitist. As such, any advertising should probably be targeted.


Yes that is the story. Everyone wants to be rich and the guy who gets into the emergency room first. Kind of like those people who go to the front of the line at Disneyland.


Actually, you don't pay anything for those fast passes. If you have a ticket you just get them for free next to the ride. Everyone can do that.



You mean the people who are smart enough to buy Fastpasses?
