So what if one building takes cash and another doesn't. Set the pricing structure then if it is a concern about a mass exodus of public employees to the private structure. If they limit the price for certain procedures would it not help keep the gap of wages close to being competitive?
There are many of us that look down on the US system as being an island of stupidity for not keeping up with the rest of the world. Then I don't see how we can not look at ourselves as being just as silly for not having both options like the rest of the planet too.

except, now you have even less doctors to take care of those 8 people in line. while a two-tiered system does work quite well in other countries, it wouldn't fix any problems here until there are enough doctors and their distribution amongst the specialties/primary care evens out.
