Canadian healthcare kinda sucks, at least in my experience in multiple cities. It's much faster to see a doctor at a walk-in clinic than to see a doctor when you go to the ER. Think about that for a minute. By faster I mean 30 mins to 1hr vs 4-6 hrs.
If you're going to have a universal system it means it's rationed, based on how much money is spend on it by the gov. So if you're going to have a universal single-payer system, the gov has to fund it adequately. If they don't it's a human rights issue. Forcing people to have 1 option that is mediocre or at times garbage is cruel.
So fund our healthcare properly. Stick your childcare and Canada Summer Jobs stuff up your anus and put that money into healthcare.
The only other reasonable alternative is a private system where the the private insurers and medical industies are highly regulated. Insurance should be the same cost for all regardless of age or pre-conditions, nobody can have their coverage cancelled due to health issues etc., the insurers cover the cost of drugs and equipment, and low income earners get it paid free by the state, deductibles are fairly low and based on income (low income = no deductible, while the rich pay more to cover the costs of the lower income earners. You also should have a standardized level of care. The rich shouldn't be able to get better coverage than the poor. There's one plan for everyone. This is much better than a 2-tier system, and very similar to our current system, except it's not rationed and people won't suffer needlessly.
