It could be that private companies cut employee pay or make it incentive based instead of seniority based.

And instead of paying someone with an 18 month degree and 10y experience 94$/hour for OT.

I dont see why Alberta doesnt allow private care facilities to bid on procedures. The AB Gov pays a certain amount for different procedures, why not allow a private clinic to bid on those procedures. You already know what the public system costs - fi you farm it out you get rid of alot of headaches vis a vi unions etc. Only allow those facilities to be contractors for the govt so that you dont have any 2 tier problems.

I dont think in Canada you can cross the Rubicon to allow for a 2-teir system. But you should be able to farm out some public procedures to private facilites to at the very least reduce the capital cost of building new hospitals/etc.
