Here's a strong counter to healthcare privatization, incorporating the Ontario context:

Market Failures in Healthcare:
- Healthcare doesn't function like normal markets - patients can't "shop around" during emergencies
- Private insurers have incentive to deny care to maximize profits
- Administrative costs in private systems are significantly higher (US spends 25-30% on administration vs 2-3% in single-payer systems)

Ontario's History :
- Since early 2000s, deliberate underfunding has strained the public system
- Recent moves toward private surgical clinics mirror failed UK experiments
- Wait times increased after private clinics opened as staff left public system
- Working class patients face increasing out-of-pocket costs for previously covered services

Evidence from Other Systems:
- US spends 18% of GDP on healthcare vs 10-11% in Canada, with worse outcomes
- American medical bankruptcy affects 500,000+ people annually
- UK's NHS privatization led to:
- Longer wait times
- Staff shortages in public facilities
- Higher costs per procedure
- Reduced quality of care

Class Impact:
- Private options create two-tier system where wealthy get faster access
- Working class forced to delay care due to costs
- Chronic conditions worsen without preventive care
- Medical debt becomes leading cause of bankruptcy
