In general Canada's refusal to have a two tier system is as ridiculous as the US refusal to have a public system. The two tiered systems in Europe deliver a better value.

Hmmmmm, that's an interesting take. I have a sibling who was seen by their dentist and a questionable mass was discovered. They were referenced to an oncologist and the diagnosis was confirmed. Surgery and treatment was a week later. Whole thing took two and a half weeks. In the US they would be dead because they could not afford insurance nor the treatment. Much prefer the queue based system.
