Private Health Care: Necessary evil?

Here is the dilemma in Canada. It is not as simple as black and white, as the CPC would have you believe. Canadians are not, as a whole, opposed to private health care. They are opposed to private health care at the expense of the public system. What this basically means is that our public taxes, and public funding, should be used for public services, and not to help those with an already extensive advantage to ahead even further. Should these privately funded clinics GUARANTEE that no public funding, government discounts, or public doctor funding should be applied to them, then I think many Canadians would ease up. The fact is, they would never agree to this, and in the first month of two-tier systems, we would see so many lawsuits, and challenges launched by these companies against the government for unfair practices, that the public system would be gutted.
