Let's not muddy those terms up, because they do mean different things.
My bad, I didn't consult my glossary of terms prior to posting. I meant multiple payer (of which two-tier is only one example.)

Intuitively, I believe that any government beurocracy-run system is more expensive especially if it is the only game in town.
