The Leader of the Opposition has asked me to repeat something. Let me repeat this:

… there's a better way of operating a health system, and the change should hardly hurt at all. As economists have shown, the ideal model involves a small co-payment—not enough to put a dent in your weekly budget, but enough to make you think twice before you call the doc. And the idea is hardly radical.

Why is the Leader of the Opposition embarrassed by this?
