Don,
There are many in Canada who pay for separate health care insurance
and/or
healthcare private system in Canada or travel to the US to use US private
healthcare.

Paul is not unique being willing to pay a premium for premium healthcare.
You are partially correct, Lord Smithers. I, for one, did pay a premium
with a private insurance company for "special" treatments such as private
hospital room instead of a ward bed. I also had dental care and eye
glasses paid by the insurance company. The very rich get special
facilities because of the higher price that they pay in insurance and the
very poor don't pay anything as the government takes complete care of
them.
The reason that you were only partly correct is that there is not
"private"
health care available, here in Canada,
Jim C.
