Queue jumping for convenience, for example, nice-to-haves.  I guess it's theoretical, from my POV and may not be a great idea.  But France does do this, and it's pretty socialist there (I lived there) so it makes me wonder.

It could be that Canada has the best in the world?

I wouldn't bet against it! As for a two-tier system? That would be a hugely destructive move against having one of the best. I think that to be the best in the world the country so named would be able to accept that it's perfectly good to allow it's very wealthy to jump the queue by travelling to some other country for quicker medical attention.

Somethinig worth mentioning is the fact that Americans per capita travel to some other country for healthcare nearly 2 1/2 times more than do Canadians!

France used to be #1 in the world but they may have slipped down the list on rankings?
