Dr. Carl A. Meilicke, director of health services for the University of Alberta, said Canada’s health care goals are ambiguous and in conflict.

Governor Dixy Lee Ray criticized increasing state regulation reducing hospital autonomy, noting Canada’s higher hospital funding share and US cost coverage.
