Alberta UCP Explores American Health-Care Billing System After Discovering Patients Still Have Money
Having spent years systematically starving Alberta’s public health-care system, the UCP government is reportedly exploring the next logical step: inviting American corporations to feast on the corpse while charging Albertans admission.
The proposal could make Alberta more attractive to American insurance companies, which have spent decades perfecting the revolutionary concept of charging people for being sick. After introducing two-tier health care, the UCP now appears interested in importing the administrative machinery needed to ensure poverty becomes a pre-existing condition. Critics warn the changes could undermine universal health care, while supporters argue that nothing improves medical efficiency quite like making patients choose between chemotherapy and mortgage payments.
Government officials have not confirmed the move, but Albertans can reportedly look forward to a future where dying remains free, provided they do it without medical assistance.
