Changes to Alberta’s healthcare system under Premier Danielle Smith, including Bill 11, aim to facilitate private practice for doctors, raising concerns about undermining public care. Critics argue this approach, funded by public money, diverts resources from a strained public system already facing a doctor shortage exacerbated by previous government actions. Instead of meaningful reform, these changes risk further erosion of Medicare. To address the healthcare crisis, the focus should be on increasing medical school seats and easing pathways for international medical graduates.
