Joe Businessman a former hospital administrator decides to start a Not for Profit chain of surgery clinics that will do the types of surgery people tend to wait long periods of time for (i.e. knee, hip or cosmetic). Joe is not allowed to build these clinics and run them in Canada (well maybe Quebec he can) as we do not allow Two Tiered medical. He in turn builds them in one hundred locations around the world and staffs them with the best medical personnel to be had. He opens his clinics to anyone with the money to afford his services and provides exemplary care to these elite customers.
The clinics begin to thrive and there reputation builds. As the structure begins to turn a profit, this profit must be disposed of and the board of directors decides it should go in two parts, 50% to developing free clinics in the most needy of developing countries and 50% to purchase equipment and improve services in Canadian hospitals.
In the third year or business The clinics show a profit of 150 million dollars and various Canadian hospital projects are forwarded by Joe and his clinics.
Joe is given many awards and accolades for his vision and care. After 25 years and millions of dollars Joe is given the order of Canada and a medical School funded by his organization is named in his honour.
This would certainly be a good situation for Canada and those developing countries and it would benefit all. Nobody is hurt nobody is left out. Why are we afraid of this? Why can’t Canada be Joe Businessman?
