Calgary Sun link, but hey.

In eight years the amount of dough spent per person on health care in Alberta has gone from $3,994 to a forecast $6,570, a whopping 64% increase.

“We’re actually spending more money on more people,” says Dr. John Cowell, the quality council’s main man.

“This is a true increase in spending regardless of the population increase.”

Alberta spends, baby. Another recent survey ranks big-spending Alberta seven out of ten provinces when it comes to how much value comes from the dollars going into health care.

Goes on to say that the system has to be a lot better to provide Albertans appropriate value for the amount of money that is being put into healthcare.
