Ya, that's some of it.

Hardcastle said it's unclear how much the entire process, including moving to and from the private system, cost taxpayers. She said Albertans deserve a breakdown of those numbers.

"What was the cost to transition it to Dynalife in the first place? And what resources did we spend making these deals happen?"
Lets not forget the UCP blew up the NDP plan that had a site under construction at the time, that would have avoided all of this. That should also be included in the costs, along with the immeasurable costs of future expenses due to that boneheaded decision, and all the lost time to the system and patients throughout the fiasco. I'm willing to accept a round number in the $10 trillion range.

I'm sure the delays to the south Edmonton hospital are also one we can add tot he tally sheet. I can see why they did it though, with a shrinking population and no real practical need.
