The government of Alberta says it remains committed to ensuring that residents do not have to pay out-of-pocket for medical care, as a recent news report suggested the province is planning legislation that would allow doctors to provide services in both the public and private health-care systems.
“We remain committed to upholding Alberta’s Public Health Care Guarantee, ensuring that under no circumstances will any Albertan ever have to pay out-of-pocket to see their family doctor or to get the medical treatment they need,” Maddison McKee, a spokesperson for Alberta’s Minister of Primary and Preventative Health Services Adriana LaGrange, told The Epoch Times in a statement.
