Constitutionally, healthcare is a provincial responsibility so provinces have a lot of legal room to maneuver. That said the federal government is allowed to require single payer healthcare, so I'm wondering what's preventing them from giving Alberta the choice to use either a federal version or make their own, but not have nothing.
