If they are using the same doctors, i.e. there are no private doctors, as everyone else then it gets more dicey.

The Canadian health care system sucks when put in practice it just sounds good to Americans because it is a requirement for Canadians to talk about how great universal health care is.
you just contradicted yourself. the more doctors in private clinics the less there are available for the public, and if a doctor coming out of med-school has to choose between a private practice for more money or public for less, what do you think he'll choose?

you can't pay the police or fire department for extra care or special privileges, why should another essential service in health care be different? everyone deserves the same access to medial care, money should never have to enter the discussion
