My interpretation of the PCN Network
is that Premier Redford created the "Perfect Healthcare environment"
for private little clubs of the BEST doctors in Alberta. These little
"Healthcare Boutiques" would assemble the BEST and the most expensive
doctors together under ONE roof so that the Richest Albertans with the MOST
money would be able to do one stop shopping when it comes to getting the BEST
Healthcare available in Alberta.
The End result is that the wealthiest anointed
Albertans with the MOST money really DO FEEL that they deserve BETTER
Healthcare than the unwashed people with less money.
There is one more benefit to the PCN
ideology when it is applied to when applied to Alberta Health Services, is that
the Alberta WCB can then manufacture their very OWN PCN full of Hacks and Quacks.
The Hack Network doctors will be guaranteed to diagnose you as being ready and
fit to return to work even if you are missing BOTH legs. This is the danger in
the PCN Network because it allows the government and corrupt Health providers
to divide the population into Rich Boutique Healthcare vs. Ghetto Care Network.
Too many people think that ALL doctors are committed
to “The Oath” and helping their fellow human beings, this is not so. The fact
is there are equal amounts that are only in the business to get rich and get
out with a fist full of dollars. The College of Physicians in Alberta is an
organization that is totally committed to the full Privatization of HealthCare
and the promotion to this very end. They are nothing more than a lobby group
for privatization in my opinion.
So in summary I think that it is a good thing
that the Health Minister is taking her time to do a full and proper assessment
of this poorly executed Network as it stands to date.
