Much prefer the queue based system.

I didn't say the outcomes were similar I said it is just as ridiculous. The religious zeal which people defend the private choice system in the US and the zeal that single payer is defended in Canada are equally misinformed. We don't have death panels and allowing private health insurance isn't going to destroy the public system.
It's zealotry rather than an attempt to build a system which will service the most people at the lowest public cost.
