Another solution would be to create a private side ER. You can go sit in the crappy publicly funded ER for hours on end, or you can pay private insurance and get faster treatment at a private ER. Would probably go a long way to alleviate the problems. All major cases would still go through the public system.
I would gladly pay money to be able to receive care faster.

Problem with that is all our good doctors would move to the private side as they would be able to earn more.
