Hence why I feel opening up semi-privatization is our quickest and fastest way out. Allowing them in brings in private dollars invested directly into the areas of need. And I feel like it only benefits those who rely on the public sector as those with the means to pay for those services will do so.

I get where you are coming from and don’t believe that you’re being insincere but I think most of the shortfalls in how you would like to see it work are already being exposed in our semi-private long term care sector where portions of tax dollars given to operators allocated to cover wages are not being paid out in wages but kept as profits while said operator is charging user fees. If a government or party promoting private or semi-private practice actually had a plan to address that first I would feel much more open to looking at private options as a solution. Otherwise we’re likely going to end up in a situation where our tax dollars are subsidizing a new healthcare system that isn’t saving us money or guaranteeing better outcomes.
