How three tiers? I see "Medicare for all",


If you look around the world where it exists, you'll find at least a two tier system in countries, that's why. You may disagree as to how many tiers there are, but there's at least two tiers. From the net:

"While Canada's system is officially single-payer for medically necessary care, critics often describe it as a de facto four-tiered system, encompassing: 1) Publicly funded basic care (family doctors, hospitals), 2) Private insurance for uncovered services (dental, vision), 3) Private for-profit care (limited private clinics), and 4) A tier for those with no access to family doctors or resources."

Ask the net sifter how many tiers that countries health system really has and you may get a different answer depending no how you ask it, but it's there, and we should recognize it. I've talked about it. The French have a hybrid system. Are you on Medicare? It actually doesn't pay for a small part, so people get Medigap and Medicare Advantage. But some people rely on medicare for everything.

We've talked about the Canadians coming across the border for clinical treatment, etc. It's there, you've read it here.
