It's what I took in university... and it's what my family does... I can't help myself. :)
There are a lot of approaches to two-tiered healthcare. Some ideas include a 'pay per use' fee, some view it as an opportunity for the government to bow out of 'non-essential' services. (which is does to a certain extent already) Many options seem like a good idea, but determining things like 'essential vs. non-essential' or 'ability to pay sliding scales' are very subjective. The problem is -not- that healthcare doesn't need reform. It is also -not- that the current government, or any potential government isn't aware and working on it. The problem is that it's a very scary thing for most Canadians to contemplate. It would require a complete re-working in the way we deal with our health. The concept of private insurance and public vs. private hospitals and doctors and such is completely non-existant. It's a very hard thing to summarize in a quick post... >Tell me about the 2 tier healthcare idea. >What do they want to try to do? > >You really do enjoy your politics. :) > > >On 11/29/05, Jillian Koskie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:184600 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
