They already charge directly for their services - the charge just goes to Alberta Health. Unless you mean charging the patient directly, in which case the only way it will help is if they charge more than they do now, which again means those with lots of money will have more access to doctors and those without will have less access than they do now. Being paid more by Alberta Health might help. Or perhaps a total change to the system and making family doctors well-paid employees of the health system rather than contractors (might also discourage doctors from rushing visits).
