One of the biggest mistakes the PC's made was eliminating the user portion of Alberta health care. If I'm not mistaken, Alberta is the only province not to have a basic user pay amount.
It was never punitive, it was a monthly base amount and you could apply for subsidies if you couldn't afford it.
Of course at the time, Alberta was debt free with a huge contingency fund. Even the left was applauding its elimination.
