[QUOTE="klein, post: 610703, member: 23950"] Good point wkmac. I have told this before, and will tell this again. Every province is responsible for 75% of it's own healthcare. The worst is Quebec. Alberta is the best. It really depends where you live. You all think it's a national thing, it's really not. It's a national law, and the fed pays 25% to all of us for care. Each province pays the rest. And , it's up to the province to hire more docs, build new hospitals, etc. In Edmonton, where I live, for example. We must have the best, or one of the best, healthcare then anywhere in any Canadian City or destrict. Our Province is also the richest in all of Canada. Still debt free, even after this year of a budget deficit (first one in a decade or so). One of very few jurisdictions in the world, that has no debt, and money put aside. And almost every Albertan will tell you , we got Mr. Klein to thank for that. (Ralph Klein, NOT me). He was out former Premier (to you State governour), that put this province from being in debt, to 1 of the worlds richest. [/QUOTE]
