He’s formally asked Prime Minister Mark Carney to push the federal health minister to review the UCP’s decision, citing the lack of clear rules on public sector time requirements as a dangerous loophole. The federal government says it’s reviewing the regulations while reaffirming its commitment to universal, need-based care. Alberta insists its model doesn’t break the Act and promises no out-of-pocket costs for medically necessary care — though the exact public service hours needed for eligibility remain undefined. With surgeries set to begin this fall, the debate rages over whether this new model truly upholds Canada’s promise of equitable, wealth-neutral healthcare.
