not exactly correct, those in the queue who can't afford it continue to be bumped down in the queue by paying clients from other jurisdictions who come to Alberta and are done on a priority basis because it a bigger payday for the surgeon. Not a win win. Surgeon wins, paying customer from elsewhere wins, Alberta resident without resources continues to wait.
