Alberta’s healthcare is shifting gears: starting Friday, residents can pay out-of-pocket for MRIs and ultrasounds without a doctor’s referral—and if cancer is found, they might get reimbursed. Hospitals decide if they’ll offer this private option and how it’s run. It’s part of a broader plan to bring private services into public care, with surgeries like hip and knee replacements also soon to be available privately for some doctors. While the goal is to cut wait times and boost choice, critics worry this could deepen healthcare inequality. For now, faster scans come with a cost—and plenty of debate.
