There is plenty of evidence that hybrid systems reduce cost and increase positive outcomes. Start with the best health care systems in the world, like Switzerland and work your way towards systems massively outperforming Alberta in Canada like Ontario and Quebec. The only difference is that we have much less private delivery of health services. Nobody is talking about a private only system.

The Wildrose platform would introduce these positive changes.
