Guess you didn't watch the embedded video where the expert on the system pointed to Australia where they went to that system, and all it did was increase wait times even more. Changing what doctors make doesn't decrease wait times, increasing the number of doctors and clinics with equipment decreases wait times. In a country as large and as sparsely populated as Canada, wait times are going to be an issue to accept. The same problem exists in the western United States where rural medicine is very much like Canada, where you make an appointment weeks or months in advance and then have to travel to a specialist.
