If y’all see enough patients, there is a lot of information asymmetry out there.
You will see even poor patients going to private specialists simply because they do not know any better.
Some think only certain meds can be found at certain specialists, or wrongly assume that there’s only one management option available.

Of course it’s not in the private doctor’s interest to right site the patient because it is not in his own interest.
Your logic is absurd when you are applying it to businesses.

It is akin to saying the BMW sales people should explain to customers that there really isn't all that much difference between a BMW and a Lexus.

Or expecting the Apple Store to tell people they JUDGE to be poor to go buy Xiaomi phones instead.

You might be surprised that some of these "poor aunties" you speak of could be quite financially well off.

Leave the subsidies and determination of whether a patient meets criteria as needy to the social worker and the finance people.

The other option is to nationalize healthcare. All healthcare falls under MOH then.
