I would agree that there shouldn't be a two tier system.
However I believe that we as a nation are quite apathetic about the state of our health system once it doesn't affect us directly.
For example, unless you're a front line health care worker or have spent needed to access services then you probably wouldn't have a clue about the real state of our health system.
I am a health care professional and my union continuously attempts to highlight the difficulties/inequities in our health care system. However individual employees of the HSE would be dismissed if they spoke out about the state of our health service as this country does not have protection for whistleblowers.
A couple of years ago, a patient lobby group held a demonstration outside the Dail. Despite the fact that it was widely advertised , relatively few people turned up to protest.
