I think that's not really part of the issue here today. I think the issue here today is how we are going to make decisions at a national level over what is covered through the publicly funded health care system. The decision about whether or not people have access to other health care through a private insurance is a separate decision.
We have to remember that the Canadian health care system is really a historical accident. We have coverage for physicians in hospitals mainly emanating from early decisions made in Saskatchewan about trying to ensure they have adequate availability of physicians. We have a health care system that has arrived just through accident, based on those events in the early 1920s.
To be honest, if you want to make a system that is sustainable, that is beneficial to all Canadians, we have to consider all health care interventions that are on the table as potential, valuable interventions to fund, and we should stop advocating just for those for which there's a commercial sponsor who's willing to make a profit from them.
