It seems to me that the assumption that 2-tier would be worse for the average non-paying person is incorrect and based on our fundamental mistrust of how services are managed.
Could we use this as an opportunity to BOTH improve service AND trust ?
And if that doesn't happen, abandon the project ?
I lived in France and as socialist as it was, they had gold-plated things for the wealthy. And the 'common person' had way better services than we have as I recall.
It seems to me that our prejudices are holding us back. Maybe a pilot project would help this.
The WHO ranks France #1 in health care, Canada is ranked #30. Most of the 29 countries ranked above us have mixed systems, including western Europe and Scandinavia.
Canadians would rather just point at the US and do nothing instead of doing anything to improve their own system.
