No, single payer is most inefficient. See the problems mentioned above. I do suspect now that Canada is off the ‘North Korean’ model things will improve as patients are allowed more medical freedoms.

I do believe that environmental issues and to some degree cultural issues give Canada a lead in overall health.

Stop making the claim that Canada is now or ever has used the North Korean model. You are using it just to poison the well.

The introduction of private clinics in Alberta and BC has had very little impact on health services. The rich get served quicker and the poor get served slower. Alberta’s relative rich economy has had a much greater impact because they can pay doctors and nurses more so the shortage is less severe.
