1. Elections bring out the crazies.
2. Alberta Health Services is a private organization. They are funded by the government but they are not part of the government.
Duckett was given a situation in which the Unions have way to much power and have made to much money, especially support services (and I work in one of the jobs part time while I go to university). That being said there needs to be a serious look at the health care system and what can make it more efficient, and that includes looking at health promotion and healthy living. Also perhaps and this might sound cold but perhaps our population is getting so old that there is no reasonable way in which we can support everyone with every health care need... and now there is talk about a national pharmacare program. I don't see where the money is going to come from.
