The Smith government announced Monday it will change the way it funds surgeries in Alberta .

Nadeem Esmail: This is a big step towards unlocking the ability of Alberta ’s health-care system to provide more, better and faster services for the same or possibly fewer dollars.

Esmail says the Smith government plans to flip this entire system on its head, to the benefit of patients and taxpayers.

The naysayers argue this approach will undermine the province's universal system.
