## Resource

Alberta’s new Bill 11, set to launch Tuesday, lets doctors split time between public and private care — sparking alarm that it could erode universal healthcare by diverting resources and worsening wait times. Advocates fear a two-tiered system where wealthier patients get faster care, while others suffer. Protests and town halls are planned nationwide as groups like the Canadian Health Coalition warn this could become a national trend. Alberta insists safeguards exist — including mandatory public care hours and delayed surgeries — while federal officials are in direct talks with Alberta to ensure core healthcare principles aren’t compromised.
