And the best part? The private hospitals are sucking up more tax payer dollars than the public hospitals AND they're delivering poorer service (and wait times aren't very good either). So basically they're wrecking one system and offering a worse one as a solution.

The person in charge of determining what cases private took and which went back to public, was a private hospital investor...so obviously he's taking the cases that they can make the most profit off of and dumping the difficult stuff back to public system.
