A new report released Thursday says that privatization of health care in Ontario won't reduce wait times but may actually increase them.

I worked for a company that served clients on a first come, first served basis. Clients would complain about wait times. The bosses decided to create a priority fee where clients could pay extra to be put into a priority queue. Guess what happened? Literally every client paid to be in the priority queue. Wait times didn't change one bit, but the bosses were laughing about suddenly making $500 extra per client with zero changes to business.

An excellent way to frame it.
