speaking for the east coast:
basically, our biggest problem with the medical system is that there are too few doctors.
apparently, in my province, roughly 75% of the population does not have a family doctor. waiting lists for family doctors are years long. now that is an unsubstantiated quote. i have no statistics to support that, but personal knowledge. i personally have not seen a doctor in seven years.
what this adds up to is overburdgeoned clinics and emergency rooms and overworked, underpaid nurses.
would a two-teir system help this situation?
most likely not. could it hurt? again, i don't see how.
lets try tackling this from a different angle:
how would you propose to FIX our broken system, and make it work again?
