About this listen
Canada’s universal healthcare system is a source of pride—but it’s breaking under the weight of rising demand, longer wait times, and shrinking 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.
