Well...are healthcare costs tripling across Canada? Or is there a significant difference in Alberta's Health Care expenses? Perhaps there is more systemic set of issues driving up Healthcare expenses...
In answering this question you would have to compensate for migration to Alberta as well...since our population is growing relative to most other regions it would be normal for our Health Care costs to be higher as a result.
My point is...the issue of rising Healthcare costs may be largely driven by factors outside of AHS...
But since I don't have data one way or the other I don't know..
