If they just took the health care costs and added them to the provincial taxes; we wouldn't see that one expense coming off, and wouldn't feel that we are "owed" something for the money we pay.

And because there's already a system in place where low income earners pay less taxes, we could do away with the subsidy system in place for Alberta Health- once less level of administration.
