100% yes. Adding user fees to the healthcare system is desperately needed.
Adding a sales tax will not solve the deficit problem. Just look at every other province as an example. The government will just waste the extra money like they always do. I wouldn't have a big problem if they increased the provincial income tax slightly for income > $100,000. Maybe to 12% from 10%.
Klein had to make some tough decision regarding spending cuts in order to eliminate the debt, the same thing needs to happen now. Though hopefully they won't blow the surpluses this time around.
