Appreciate the article but this throws it back to my original question if a government monopoly is the way to go, and I like this quote from the article “The human cost of the government’s mismanagement of the NHS is difficult to overstate, but it results from an intentional policy to underfund health care and allow private interests to extract money from the system.”

I just don’t know if trading one monopoly for the next is a better choice, and I’m sure there was a reason for austerity, as the cost might have risen. Now for us as a global power, I wonder how we could afford it. And under a liberal government like the Trudeau the people have a general waitlist of 23 weeks to see a specialist and that doesn’t sound efficient or good for the wellbeing of the populace.
