Let’s not have two health systems

Re: “A `great reset' conservatives can get behind” (Tasha Kheiriddin, Nov. 25)

Tasha Kheiriddin's argument that it is time for two healthcare systems fails. If there is enough wealth in the country for one deluxe private system and one poor public system, there should be enough for one decent public system that treats everyone equally. It is simply a matter of wealth distribution.

A private health-care system will be a for-profit system, therefore expensive. Add the cost of creating a second structure, and we will as a society have spent more for our health care in order to dispense it less equitably than if we worked on the one we have.
