Nov. 29 - Aargh! Feds to give health council the green light. Because when something is underfunded and doesn't work, the best way to fix it is to form yet another layer of bureaucracy and red tape which will eat up more money so it can still not work but at least the budget will show they're putting more money into health care.

Martin said the health council will be key in dealing with the problems of waiting lists for medical services and providing accountability of how health care dollars are spent. Alberta Premier Ralph Klein said that he will not endorse the council unless its mandate is limited to programs, like pharmacare, home care and catastrophic drugs.
