Unless you're saying that Flames doctors have day jobs where they DO work for Alberta Health Services, which would mean that the Flames haven't actually hired them to strictly be THEIR doctor.

I could be wrong, but it was my understanding that most doctors in Alberta already work for their own private practice,
not for AHS. The government acts as the single-payer in the system, but unlike teachers (for example), doctors are not employed directly by any government agency.
