"There is lots to learn from Sweden about investing in both health care and
in the social determinants of health, such as income, education and early
childhood development."

By TAMMY HORNE
Globe and Mail Update

Alberta Premier Ralph Klein has just unveiled the province's latest health
reform plan. He proposes a "third way" for Alberta's health-care system,
based on experiences of other countries around the world. He is especially
interested in expanding private payment and for-profit delivery of health
care. In his recent Calgary speech to the Canadian Club, Mr. Klein lauded a
local for-profit operation, the HRC surgical clinic, while downplaying its
higher costs to taxpayers. He said Alberta will not violate the Canada
Health Act, but will encourage the health care sector to test its
boundaries.  SNIP
