I'm probably too idealistic but for quite a long time I have thought that public and private can work alongside each other up here. People that can afford private treatment or services already travel to places across the US, Mexico or internationally so why not keep them here and keep those dollars in the economy. Maybe a private structure can even attract some more doctors who see it as a good opportunity so that our public system is not always so stressed. It could even be an opportunity for health tourism dollars to increase in our economy. I understand there are also a lot of concerns and fears though and reality can be quite different from an ideal situation.
