News Flash: Nothing short of putting money into primary health care and keeping people healthy will result in faster service regardless of how many more people they hire. If the Wildrose were to pledge money towards acions that would keep people out of Emergency Rooms.
Also willfully ignoring the Canada Health Act could cost Alberta billions in terms of Federal dollars for health care as a penalty for violating the CHA. Sorry but that is just awful fiscal management given the current climate. The fast track thing is stupid and just puts a new name on something that already exists within the hospitals, but I have question about the Wildrose initiatives and how much they would cost Alberta in the long run.
