I mean for the most part this will create a entire industry of self sustaining clinics that can take the burden off of the public system that is woefully and by nature, inefficient, and I'm pretty sure that there will be heavy taxation on the insurance, and that money will find its way into the public system.
In my mind, and I could be wrong, under the current system, public healthcare is going to die sooner or later because its just not feasible.

IF that happens, then it can be a good thing. That would be like creating more lines. The thing I am worried about though, is that it will allow wealthy people to cut in line of poorer people in the Canadian public health care system. It's not the same thing as what you are talking about.
The other worry is that the public system will be depleted of all skilled doctors and physicians creating massive gap in the quality of treatment. I'll never change my mind on the ideal that all people, regardless of income, should have accessibility to the best treatment. I don't want to see a system like in the U.S. where poor people have to settle for doctors who carely passed. I hope that isn't what is next to come in this country.
