Right now in hospitals the average of RN to LPN is about 1:1.5

In a private clinic that lets say handles broken bones, why would you not beable to increase that ration to 1:5 - where the RN is the supervisor/manager (not alot different than what is happening right now) with the LPN doing the bulk of the manual labour.

Current max wages for RN are apporx $42.50
Current max wages for LPN are approx $23

A 2 teir system also does alot to solve the militant public unions that exist currently. Private facilites employees wouldnt be apart of the same union or any union.
That is incrediably naive thinking. (Coming from someone who has spent the last 8 years of their life working in the Calgary Health Region.)

It is just not that easy.

If it was that easy America would spend less on health care then Canada - but in fact their costs are escalating like ours, are higher then ours, and in fact are amongst the highest in the developed world.
