Would you pay to see a family doctor in Alberta?

Context

Alberta is facing a primary care crisis with hundreds of thousands of people in need of a doctor. The provincial government has introduced a dual practice model, allowing some doctors to work in both public and private systems. Two Edmonton physicians are trying to address the need for care with a new membership-based medical clinic.

The clinic's approach may help meet the growing demand for primary care in Alberta, where many people are without a family doctor. The provincial government's dual practice model does not apply to family doctors, making alternative solutions like the membership-based clinic a potential option for those seeking care.
