Yep, the plan is likely to choke the public healthcare system into submission (on purpose) and use that as an excuse to significantly privatize services, saying "see? The system was failing and it needed to be changed". This falls in line with Smith's desire to deliver services privately, give Albertans a GENEROUS $300 for healthcare needs, and allow people to spend that on pseudo-science and alternative medicines like naturopathy and voodoo curses.
Her "open for business" diatribes is very much directed at insurance companies.
This will also no doubt impact staffing at hospitals, clinics and facilities. I am sure she's going to be "there's plenty of doctors from around the world that want to join us", just as Ralph Klein did in the 90s.
