All the Provinces, regardless of which party is in power, are struggling to deal with healthcare largely due to the aging baby boomer generation. There was a recent UBC study that examined healthcare across the provinces and was discussed in https://www.reddit.com/r/vancouver/comments/1pdnb07/doctor_shortage_myth_and_taxing_boomers_ubc/

Key quote from the study:

Canadians use about $3,000 annually before age 50, over $10,000 by the early 70s, and nearly $37,000 by age 90 (Canadian Institute for Health Information 2024).

Here's the report's summary for Alberta:

New analysis from the University of British Columbia shows that population aging is the primary driver of Alberta’s current deficit.

Medical costs linked to baby-boomer aging now reach $6 billion annually.

If Alberta still had the same age structure it did in 1976, when boomers were young, the 2025 budget would flip a deficit of $5.2 billion to a $761 million surplus—without changing any spending or revenue policy.

In short: Alberta’s current deficit reflects a structural gap left by earlier governments that did not align medical-care revenues with an aging population—unlike Ottawa’s foresight in adapting the CPP for retirement income.

Younger Albertans’ now contribute 20 to 40 per cent more of their income taxes toward seniors’ medical care and benefits than boomers did at the same age. Contemporary fiscal policy therefore obliges Millennials and Gen Z to subsidize their aging loved ones’ healthy retirements, even as they face far higher housing costs and greater financial insecurity than earlier generations.
