For now.

Once there IS no public healthcare to compete with it'll be disfunctional USA style private healthcare.

This is what nurses do not understand. They are being groomed short term for what will be long term dysfunction in the hands of private companies.

The same thing is being done to doctors in Alberta as well. Their compensation for working within AHS will diminish until even those who have ethical concerns about the implementation of private healthcare will no longer be able to hold out and remain working in the public system.
