Canada is the only jurisdiction on Earth where it’s unlawful to obtain private health insurance to cover hospital and physician services. The local British Columbia laws that make it unlawful to use private health care when you are in need — those laws are unconstitutional, that’s our argument. Q: Why not put all your effort into bolstering the public system? A: The way to bolster the public system is to eliminate its monopoly on the funding of hospital and physician services. The point is: a government cannot promise health care in a timely manner and then fail to deliver it and then force options out of your control.
