  2.  @derekwoodford9955  opposed, if the system was run well no need for a two tie system. But as always the way to jump the Line is go private.

  4.  @derekwoodford9955  Actually some years ago I met some American Doctors at a Fishing Lodge in BC, they were interested to know how the Canadian Health Care System worked, so after a discussion, they all commented on they wished the had a similar System in the US. When I related the Story of I had a Heart attack in the Far North of Canada, Medi Vacked by plane to Edmonton for Triple bypass surgery, and it didn’t cost me a cent, even though I lived out of Provence in BC, thy couldn’t believe it, that would of cost a fortune in the US. So I have been a recipient of the single tier health care system in Canada, but that was 10 years ago, today the System is in deep trouble. The Corvid situation has knocked the hell out of the Medical Staff, they are overwhelmed, and I’m impressed at Kamloops Hospital how kind and considerate all the Medical Staff are, a solid group of nurses and doctors, and neglected by the Government.

  5. We don’t have a very good Medical Clinic in the small town I live in, a nurse Practitioner not well qualified ( misdiagnosed my wife twice) but one thing we have learned, to bypass the Six Week wait times, we go directly to The Emergency Dept at the Hospital. It works every time, you get the necessary medical scanning immediately, and you get to see a real doctor. No more 6 week waits or waiting weeks for an echocardiogram. Maybe private clinics would eliminate a lot of the wait times and also help those in real need a lot faster.

  6. You can’t provide Medial Staff under the Present System, where are the extra staff coming from. Raid the present Medical Poole and offer them 10% more, now you got a Private System.

  7.  @derekwoodford9955  The answers are easy, clue one. Planning in advance would of eliminate this problem, and I’m talking the last 10 years. Let’s see Record Forest fires, Record Lower Mainland Floods. All in the AGs report in 2017. NDP asleep at the wheel.
