The primary reason why I don't like party-based democracy is that too many important issues end up turning into an us vs them bun-fight, which results in the actual problem either being obfuscated, ignored, or having potential solutions discarded just because it was "their" idea, and not "ours"...

You aren't wrong about quality being important, I have no argument against that. But quality can be efficient too. Getting the diagnosis right the first time saves time for medical staff and patients/users alike. Freeing the system of people/users that didn't need to be there in the first place...

It may not be a for-profit business (and it certainly shouldn't be IMO) but it has many of the same characteristics of other businesses. These organizations have a budget, they have customers/users, employees with salaries and capital expenses, etc. Buying equipment that goes unused is...

Lol... Yeah that one too. What's the problem?

Well I didn't vote for it, mostly because I think party based democracy is a meme, but I did likely indirectly give them the idea for the policy. Care to explain what part of introducing some competitive pressure to improve efficiency in healthcare is bad thing?
