SUMMARY - Public vs Private Funding

In the quiet urgency of a rural Alberta clinic, Dr. Elena Rossi reviews the chart of a patient who requires a knee replacement. The waitlist for this procedure in the public system is eighteen months. The patient, a local teacher, is in chronic pain and struggling to work. Dr. Rossi knows that if the patient could afford a private facility in a neighboring province or perhaps a specialized private clinic within the province that operates on a hybrid model, they could be seen in weeks.
