It isn't so much that I think the idea is good as much as there isn't really a way of stopping it and it will get the most resources allocated to the medical sector to set up more beds.

If you are relying on the hospital's goodwill and I'm willing to throw down $100k in bribes; I suspect I will mysteriously get myself an ICU bed. It would be better if that money went to the hospital where they can buy more beds than to corrupt administrators. Much like I can get toilet paper if I'm willing to pay $200 a roll; and it would be better if that was going to the manufacturer rather than drug dealers as is currently the case in Australia.
