Canadian Health is on the verge of a major upheaval. Alberta some weeks ago announced it would open the Canada Health Act to accommodate changes Alberta wants to make in delisting services in this province.

Canada Health Act is a Federal jurisdiction and any changes to it will affect all Canadians not just Alberta.

None of the other Provinces jumped on this nor did any of the political parties which leads me to believe the agreement to open and change this act happened at the last Ministers meetings.

Alberta has a large list of degregulated services made up by their Capital Health Authority which was distributed to all provinces.

Delisted services will end up in the realm of private insurance companies, probably with head offices in the US.

Alberta has hired the man responsible for the privitzation of Australia's health care. Queensland say he was "good at building bridges" which means "brough in US health to Australia"

Canadians as usual are asleep at the switch and giving their provincial governments a free reign.

I personally do not want the Conservatives to deal my health care nor NAFTA.
