Both services are publically funded essential services. It is generally argued among Liberal/NDP/"progressive" supporters that people should not be able to buy there way into better health services. I feel that both health and basic education should be publically funded. I was just curious that you held that position with private schools is all.

I see. Well truth be told I'm not sure that private school = better school. Its pretty clear that private health means faster care for those who can afford to buy it though and that is something that I don't think is right. That being said you can do this today. If you have a medical issue you can hop on a plane and go get treated right away in the US or a multitude of other countries. I don't mind that aspect at all, I just don't want public doctors tied up doing private care for others.
