The single-payer model: a foundation for professionalism

1. SO against a hybrid system here in Canada

I know a bunch of people who used to think it was a good thing, until I explained to them how it would work (it would leach resources from the public system and cause longer waiting times, not shorter times...those who have studied it know this). They had no idea and are now vehemently against it. And these are hard core conservatives. Another thing I asked them was if they thought they could afford $20,000 here and there for the odd surgery. No? Then you will be waiting longer because of those who CAN pay. Suddenly - the hybrid system doesn't look so good. And most Canadians have an innate sense of fairness - and this does NOT seem very fair to most of us. I hope BC courts throw Day's case out.
