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.
A true two-tier system exists.

Wait in Canada or go to the States.

All minor privatization would do is keep the latter customer in Canada.
