is it possible that allowing unfettered access to diagnostics through private pay simply increases inappropriate testing for everyone? I wonder what the proportion of inappropriate hip, knee and spine MRI's was before and after private pay started. Total # MRI's seemed to
a lot

And inappropriate diagnostics can and often do lead to surgeries that are of no benefit to patient.

Many others, including
@DanyaalRaza , have made the point that a parallel private system's entire business model is based on long wait times in the public system. Why else would patients be willing to pay (directly or for private insurance)? -
I worked in Australia for 4 1/2 years. So I know all about how that system works. Long public wait times do drive people to pay for private care but that's not the only problem. Insurance system is a mess as well.

It appears that nothing is learned by govts from previous experience anywhere. AB had private surgery facilities go bankrupt in the time of a prev Conservative govt with public system picking up the pieces. Now our new(ish) Conservative government is headed down that same road.

UK is drowning as well with long waits for public system. Why would the outcome be different in Canada? Similar to the trickle down economics, that economists state NEVER works or benefits low income people.

I know and the experiment in QC for eye cataracts surgeries has been disastrous and costly.

Other reads on that data! Rationing equipment, providers and services = always a breakdown if only one is increased.

The knowledge on how to have the best publicly funded healthcare system exists. Ignoring this evidence should be seen as incompetence or corruption
