Brenton Harding : Alberta 's political right has pursued a hidden agenda since 1970 .

Since health care was introduced, it has been treated as just another department of the provincial government, like highway construction or licence plates, he says.

It is easy enough to guess that the UCP wants to turn over more health-care delivery to private operators whose focus is making a profit.

Harding : Health-care funding is an issue everywhere in Canada and around the world.
