I'm not really sure who I'm voting for. Based on health care alone, I'm voting PC as I think their plan is more viable and beneficial.

The "Family Care Clinics" are absolutely ridiculous, and getting the ire of the majority of health professionals in Alberta. The main reason it's so ridiculous is that in the past 8 years physicians and other primary care workers have been developing primary care networks, which basically provide the same service. So instead of just funding these networks properly, which is what they should do, they decide to build 140 new Family Care Clinics to directly compete with these primary care networks. It makes no sense at all, and one of the main reasons why I'm so hesitant to vote for PC this election. I really don't know who I'm going to vote for yet.
