Lets take a look.
1. France - two tiered system.
2. Italy - two tiered system.
3. San Marino - Universal.
4. Andorra - Universal.
5. Malta - two tiered system.
6. Singapore - two tiered system.
7. Spain - Universal.
8. Oman - two tiered system.
9. Austria - tough to figure out. I assume its Universal.
10. Japan - two tiered system.
11. Norway - Universal.
12. Portugal - two tiered system.
13. Monaco - Private.
14. Greece - two tiered system.
15. Iceland - Couldn't figure out.
16. Luxembourg - Couldn't figure out.
17. Netherlands - two tiered system.
18. United Kingdom - two tiered system.
19. Ireland - two tiered system.
20. Switzerland - two tiered, but WAY more private than public.
12 out of the 20 are two tiered, including 6 out of the top 10, with one unknown.
Yeah, two-tiered health care doesn't work. Just ask all the citizens of those top ten countries that have two-tiered health care.
Oh, and the population of the top ten countries with a single payer system?
San Marino - 30,000
Andorra - 85,000
Spain - 50 million.
So sorry, but you're completely WRONG. Two-tiered health care DOES work. You're just one of those people Cowperson was talking about.
Despite the evidence clearly showing that two-tiered health care works very well throughout the world, you still deny it.
And yes dammit, I went and looked up every single country on that list and found out what kind of health care they have.

How many universal systems are there in the world in your opinion? Based on how you seem to define universal vs. two-tier, that would be an interesting list in my opinion, I would be surprised if you could find even 10 universal systems in the world. By your definition, Canada would have to be considered to be a country with a two-tiered system. What your stats clearly indicate is that private health systems are the worst systems in the world.
