I read the Wildrose policy write up on healthcare and there are a lot of questions I have after reading it. The general idea seems to be one where they would spend money to use private providers instead of public providers today. How are private providers going to provide these services cheaper than the public system does today? Private corporations do so to earn a profit, so clearly the government has to be paying a mark-up for these services that are otherwise provided.
I also question the efficacy of using some of these other countries and per capita spending as a model here. Most of those countries deliver services to a larger population in a small area. There are economies of scale at play there and certain challenges we face here that are simply not a concern in some of these countries.
