8. I don't know about Canada,

but in other countries with single payer health care, you can still jump ahead of the line if you are willing to pay the doctor privately. Also, in other countries you can pay for extra private insurance.

Back in the old days of the Communists in at least one of the Eastern European countries, the patients tipped the doctors to ensure good service. Imagine.

Still, I lived in several countries in Europe with single payer programs, had two children and raised them through the first years of elementary school there. I loved the single payer programs. We all had great health care.
