		Klein promised to "get the government out of the business of doing business"- eight days after he took office he gave $100 000 000 of our hard-earned tax dollars to his favourite corporation (Bovar).
		While it is true that Klein has reduced the amount of subsidies given to corporations, he has also drastically reduced the amount of taxes they pay, so the net flow of money from the province to the businessmen has not decreased in the slightest.
		Klein assured us many times that he was not going to allow private American-style health care into Alberta, but he still encouraged Hotel de Health to set up shop here.

	Rational Reasons: Ralph Klein saves Public Healthcare
		Well guys, he wasn't scolding Ralph over this, it was over his plans to continue to download to private providers despite the findings in this study.
		This study shows that healthcare can be provided efficiently and effectively through the public system (the use of some private doctors and clinics was incidental and not the main cause of the sucess - it could easily have been done in totally public and still achieved the results).
		I for one can honestly congratulate Ralph and the Alberta government for a job well done in this study and still criticize it for still wanting to download to the provably more expensive and lower quality private system.

		Ralph likes to refer to the mythical volk of Alberta, as severely normal, so there cannot be anyone poor in Alberta, or injured workers, or seniors, or disabled.

		All Ralph is doing is working for the people who want him in office, which is the majority of the province of Alberta.
