Technically, BC and Alberta have been quietly increased the number of "private" facilities.
I can't remember the name off hand, but that Calgary clinic, where they charge members $3000 member's fee for guaranteed access to a full medical team, has announced that it is expanding. The clinic company originated in BC
Also a point to clarify. Our Health Care system is provided majority by PRIVATE providers, but billed to Province instead of the individual. Most doctor you see works for themselves but rather give you the bill, theysend that to the Province to get paid through Fee for Servic. The Public pays in terms of taxes (and formerly health premiums)
This mainly applies to doctors, as nurses and other health care providers usually work for an employer and paid a salary
