The Health Care Crisis V: Privatization

As Canada's health-care system fails, more and more people will be willing to pay up to avoid the most overcrowded and underserviced parts of it. While no politician will come out in favour of privatizing health care, you do here a lot about "looking for innovative solutions"—which can often mean a second, paid tier.

Is this a viable solution to some of the system's burden? Or is it the beginning of a downward spiral we need to be very careful about?
