If Ontario opted for private sector health care, its financial problems would be over. Based on US data, about 86% of citizens can pay for their own health care. That leaves only 14% to be paid by the taxpayer. That 14% can be funded from the money not spent on 86% of the population. That leaves a large sum for debt reduction. 

There has been a lot written about the cost of the US health care. That is one example  and it is the US which is "different" On the other hand the private sector provides us with all our needs and wants except health care. And it works beautifully.

. Health care should be no different.
