Correct me if I'm wrong, but you can't exactly go to a private clinic in this country/province for relatively invasive procedures like brain surgery, correct? We all have to use the public system for procedures like that.
Unless every service in the public health system has a private sector equivalent, then you will always have people clogging the public system. Someone who can afford private health care may also not be in dire need of a procedure and will be fine waiting for a spot in the public system too.
I am concerned about Jason Kenney's comparison between how many procedures the private sector can output vs. the public sector in a given day. Also, his assessment of what nurses do between procedures is atrocious and wrong.
