Us socialists up here will never have a two-tied health system.. its been talked about for way too long...
and i totally agree with the idea that ""All Canadians want better and quicker access to health-care services. But the answer is not to allow a select few to buy their way to the front of the queue while boosting private health-care profits and siphoning resources from the public system." Joan Lesmond, president of the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario. "

Public opinion polls have shown strong support for single-tier health care, with service based on need rather than ability to pay. this also totally just makes sense to me... why should a more affluent person with a slight cold have more access than someone that can't afford private insurance who has a broken leg... or an axe in their head?
