Alberta's Healthcare Reforms: More Choice for Patients?

In this episode of Canadian Justice, host Christine Van Geyn interviews experts about planned reforms to healthcare in Alberta, and how these reforms could be emulated by other provinces. The Alberta government has introduced the Health Statutes Amendment Act, which would permit surgeons — and potentially other specialists — to operate in both The public health system (billing the government), and a private system (billing patients directly). The government says it may require doctors to commit a minimum amount of public service before providing private services, or restrict certain specialties if there are shortages. Here today to discuss this are 3 experts – Joanna Baron from the Canadian Constitution Foundation, Renaud Brossard from Montreal Economic Institute, and Bacchus Barua from SecondStreet.org
