>>I haven't seen that exact point discussed either. I don't think I've ever discussed supplementation of the single-payer before. I'm not sure that even makes sense. After all, single-payer connotes, duh, single payer, not supplemental payers. I'm extrapolating from their adamance that their be no tiers of service. << Karen - I guess "single payer" isn't really what we should be talking about. It was only a couple of weeks ago that there was some discussion on this thread about the French hybrid healthcare system, wherein healthcare coverage is pretty much universal, providing a comfortable base level of care for everyone who wants it, while private insurers offer supplemental policies, and those who can afford it have high-end facilities. I was saying that their approach is one that makes sense to me. The Canadian system is similar. Plenty of people there take advantage of an ability to pay a bit more for quicker, more convenient, or higher-end care. - Allen
