I have always thought a two tiered system would be an attractive option so long as there is a stipulation stating that a doctor can only work a certain percentage of the time privately. I think it would provide more incentive for doctors to move to Calgary. I also think that the private care should be heavily taxed with extra money moving to increase the quality of public care.

Basically, the only way I support this is if the current level of care in the public system is improved.
