Alberta

I wonder if it's better for the top 10% and much worse for everyone else (and thus worse overall), as is often the case in private sectors. I had an argument during an election season with someone (they said they were a doctor) who said they didn't want to wait for an MRI so they paid to have it done at a clinic they knew. They said this was a net benefit and argument for privatization because it cleared up their spot in the public line for someone else. I argued that being able to pay money for faster or better care is the very definition of a two-tiered health system that treats the wealthy better than everyone else.
