So because it has been tried and failed, we shouldn't even attempt? What about the 2-tier system that is already in Canada, just not available to the public?
I am not saying that the public system doesn't work, or that we shouldn't support it. All I am saying is if people want to pay extra for health care, why not give them that option in their own country? How is it going to cripple the current system? If you make sure everyone pays for the public system (even if they opt for the private one), then the funds are still there, and they can choose still choose to use the public system.
I have heard a lot of people say "It wont work", but no one has given a reason to as why? If implemented correctly, it could be a model that everyone could follow.
