Obviously, there is a lot of demand for private MRI's now, so we have several private radiology providers... |
Ya, I'm so far against private health that I'm the wrong guy to have this discussion with I suppose. It has zero to do with helping people and making the system work better, and everything to do with making money in anyway possible. I support that part of it just fine for business applications, but not for a service that everyone should have equal access to.
I agree that there are already examples of private care, and frankly its a disgrace that the public system has had to pay to use those facilities at times due to overloads of their own. I just think that public care is a necessity for the welfare of our citizens.
The problem is that as soon as you open the door for private clinics and doctors you are bleeding away the talent and resources of the public system. The best doctors will undoubtedly move, as well as the best adminstrators and best equipment will be there as well. Its not long after that the public system continues with de-insuring certain procedures and voila: no pay, no care. I hope we never see that day.
