Alberta spends far more than other provinces on health care and yet ranks far below other provinces. Thus, the argument that 'dramatic and painful' service reductions seems to be disingenuous at best, as with increased spending we see no change in service outcomes there is clearly no direct link between spending and outcomes.
Sadly throwing money at problems does not fix them. And cutting spending does not automatically cause problems either.

So you are saying that more people, who are older and require the health care system more costs more money? Good observation... how you get from that to how we need to cut funding to the health care system is beyond me.
