i hope they don't make a stupid decision around this.

basically, the facts are this: while access to care may need improvement, private health care will not provide for that. so, it's an answer that doesn't solve the problem.

the courts in the past have produced rulings that have attempted to carefully nudge governments in the direction of increasing expenditures, and at times seen those rulings backfire. we at least have some data from quebec at this point that indicated that "market liberalization" had the opposite effect - while some wealthy people may now be able to buy their way to the front of line, wait times in quebec are the highest in the country.
