It is?!? That's news to me.
What's "proven in the real world to work for both people and government" is single-payer public health care. Of course, we don't really have that either, really--but moving in the other direction to some hybrid two-tier system seems
very goofy to me, given the very bad example set by the U.S..
Mark my words: a true two-tier system will result in higher costs and less access. There's a rule of thumb to keep in mind when it comes to any kind of entitlement program or government service: simpler is cheaper. Making our health care system more complex will do nothing for the main challenge that the health care industry faces right now, which is rising costs.
