Can We Fix Canadian Healthcare With Private Options? hrinking access to services. In this episode, I ask a tough but necessary question: could introducing a paid tier actually save our healthcare system?
We explore:
Why the current public model isn’t sustainable
The myth of the “two-tier” system—and the four real quadrants that exist today
How private options can actually reduce pressure on the public system
Data-backed examples of care that improved when delisted (chiropractic, physio, eye care)
How this model could encourage more doctors to enter the field, especially in family practice
How it could attract foreign-trained physicians
Why Canadians are already paying for care elsewhere—and why that’s a problem
Finally, I leave you with three questions to challenge your perspective:
What if a family wanted to pay for their loved one’s private addiction treatment?
What if private care required public service from doctors?
What if we could double our number of physicians in 10 years?
This isn’t about abandoning universal healthcare—it’s about saving it.
