Why not focus on improving public hospitals instead of luxury resorts? Priorities, people!

This is a waste of resources! Focus should be on public hospitals instead.
Actually, investing in private healthcare can alleviate the burden on public hospitals and improve overall healthcare access. Its not about one or the other, but finding a balance that benefits everyone. Lets not overlook the potential benefits of diversified healthcare options.
Why focus on luxury resort instead of local community healthcare needs?
Because the wealthy bring money and status to the area, benefiting the local economy. Healthcare needs can be addressed separately. Why not both? Prioritizing luxury resorts doesnt negate the importance of community healthcare. Lets embrace diversity and progress for all.
