More money does not mean better treatment per se. The standard of care is the same for rich and poor. He may be able to get more doctor opinions and have an easier time getting meds/etc. though.
“Oh, I see that you’re a rich - come with me to the executive wing of the hospital where we keep the cures”
No - the standard of care is not defined based on who or how much you have. You treat the same disease with the same treatment. Rich people can just afford treatments easier.

I mean, he is 78 years old, apparently never exercises, and eats McDonald’s on a regular basis…
With access to the best God damned Healthcare money can buy
He was almost defeated by a glass of water and a slight incline the last time he was president and his brain is pretty clearly Swiss cheese.
Good healthcare has its limits.

This is how I am using it:
A standard of care is a medical or psychological treatment guideline, and can be general or specific. It specifies appropriate treatment based on scientific evidence and collaboration between medical and/or psychological professionals involved in the treatment of a given condition. .
