Dude, I just read up a little bit about the Canadian plan. It is presently a two tiered plan, and it works a lot like traditional private insurance. Docs who accept govt pay for any procedure cannot accept a private payment for the same procedure, but a patient and doc can opt out for any given procedure, and there are private clinics around the country which do strictly fee for service or insurance payment work.
"Two tiered" is not the same thing as a scenario where the govt "bans all private insurance." I think you're reading too much Heritage Foundation info on the issue. From what I see, we would get a two tiered system.
The "debate," whether that's good or bad, is another issue.
