Wow! That's a serious stretch. There is almost no private healthcare in Canada right now. Doctors are banned from "straddling the fence". They either have to go 100% public or 100% private.
The reason for the waitlists in Canada are complex, but cost control is one of the reasons.
It's a tried and tested technique. Take a well working system which doesn't generate profits, push to reduce costs, entirely destroying the service then point it out and say "See? It doesn't work. Better privatize it!"
