This is not the case for a health minister. Her job is to make the largest bureaucracy in Alberta more efficient.
Health Minister's job is also to advocate for Healthy lifestyles for all Albertans, not just Hospitals or waiting times in the province. That includes things like diet and exercise, which is part of preventative care.

That job is not just for you or me to assess the merits of her ideas, but also to get the highest # of people to buy in to whatever her preventative health initiatives are doing.
