Allowing doctors to practise in both public and private systems solves what exactly?

When you introduce a new policy, there are two key questions that need to be asked, and answered: 1) What is the problem you’re trying to solve? and; 2) will the new policy solve it?

Alberta plans to introduce legislation that would allow some doctors to practise simultaneously in the public and private health systems.

Specifically, surgeons will be allowed to do some elective procedures like cataracts, and hip and knee replacements, and be paid either by public insurance, private insurance or out-of-pocket.
