The fantasy that we don't have a multi-tier health care system is ridiculous. How much does the gov't pay for dental or optometry or physio or the vast majority of mental health care? Nothing. These are all health care providers.
Until we acknowledge the system we have and actually try to find the best delivery method we will never be able to fix the legitimate problems in the system. The deniers have far too much influence on the policy makers because, as a rule, they are seniors and they vote and they are scared they won't be able to afford care.
