This is from Alberta, but there are lessons here for other provinces too.
Franco Terrazzano is a for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
Take doctors. Doctors work hard, are well-educated and deliver necessary services, but it would be an understatement to say Alberta's doctor costs are inflated. The Alberta government spends significantly more per-person on doctors than Canada's three largest provinces — ranging from 15% more than Ontario to 20% more than B.C.
Taxpayers would save over $900 million every single year if Alberta matched per-person spending on doctors in the other large provinces.
Alberta's spending on doctors has increased by 300% between 2002 and 2018, which is far greater than the province's growth in total health care spending (190%) and much higher than the growth in spending on doctors in other large provinces.
Perhaps most alarming is that while costs have exploded, the average number of services provided per doctor has declined.
From 2009 to 2016, the number of services provided by an Alberta family doctor fell by 7% while the average cost per service increased by 37%.
A key factor driving this high spending is the way our doctors are paid. In Alberta, the majority of doctors are paid fees for completing specific services rather than earning a predetermined salary.
This is a very expensive way to pay doctors and Alberta taxpayers are being forced to pay fee-for-service salaries that are far above those in other provinces, according to the Blue Ribbon Panel.
The average fee-for-service salary for an Alberta doctor is $413,035. That's roughly $100,000 more than those in B.C., Ontario and Quebec, and 35% more than the average of the provinces analyzed by the Blue Ribbon panel.
It's not just Alberta doctors who are being overpaid.
A registered nurse in Alberta, who is eligible for the maximum compensation rate, earns $112,974 annually, which is over $20,000 more than the same nurse in Manitoba, who works the same hours.
For the five different types of nursing positions examined, Alberta's maximum salaries are all higher than in B.C. and Quebec, and are only lower than one type of position in Ontario (graduate nurse).
Alberta's nurses also tend to receive costlier premium pay rates, overtime and holiday benefits.
Many other Alberta health care professionals are receiving inflated salaries and benefits.
Despite spending $1,000 per-person more than people living in Ontario, Alberta's wait times, from referral from general practitioner to treatment, is 10 weeks longer.
Taxpayers would save billions every year if the Alberta government brought its health spending levels in line with Canada's three largest provinces.
To find these savings, we need our politicians to scale back the inflated health care compensation costs.
Of the 26 health care professionals examined by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, 24 are paid more than the average of comparator provinces (based on maximum compensation rates).

I recently found out why King Martini posted this thread.
:sneaky2:
He asked if posting pics of patients is allowed..
I assumed he knew of such case.

He asked because he wanted to get someone fired.

That does not excuse what Martini did.

As I understand it, there were no pics of any person. And like Herman says, doesn't excuse what Martini did.
I think Martini and Eddie would get along great.

Getting posters in trouble with their employers is Edward's style.
