Dude, so many people can’t afford the dentist or vision care. If healthcare went that way it would be bad. You should flip your argument to make dental and vision publicly funded. Just read the research on cost of a two tier HC. Biggest problem with you guys deciding this is 1/ https://twitter.com/trevortombe/status/1317666605644410880

2/ that none of you know what you are talking about. Without consulting the experts (us and academics like @Lorian_H) your “informed discussion” is far from informed because you “don’t know what you don’t know” - an unknown unknown. Aka you act like you have all the info but 2/

you simply don’t, and that’s a fact, not an insult. It’s a well documented entity. See the picture, and lots of research to back it up. In medicine, working in the bottom right quadrant gets people killed, and our training and the use of our colleagues that are in the know 3/

3/ are crucial in proper delivery of care. So no, you UCP party people cannot have a truly informed discussion without proper consultation, and that consultation, as you know, if profoundly against privatization as you are wishing it. Because we know what facts you are missing 3/

4/ and the problem is you and the ideology party don’t even know what other info you are missing, and worse yet, you don’t know you are missing it. Again, that’s a fact.

Other theory: you don’t give a shit about people and just see $$$ in your pockets.
