Going to be phased back in over 3 years. No word on amount yet. However, cost prior to elimination in 2009 cost families $1,056 and singles $528. Imagine it'll be back up to similar levels.
Imagine most would have preferred a bump to personal income tax levels (or even movement to progressive tax rates) than this, given its going to impact low income earners the most.

If they were smart they would simply add it as a line on the Alberta Income Tax form rather than run it through an elaborate system to collect the premiums, provide premium assistance and issue health care cards.
