@raghu_venugopal Absolutely disgraceful this is precisely why our public healthcare system matters because all lives matter - fund the public healthcare system like your life depends on it
Pleased to see the premiers at the Council of the Federation issued a statement today putting health care as a top priority #cdnpoli Could it be because of suffering in the health care system, and increasing opposition to two tier private pay policies like Bill 11 in Alberta? #abpoli Prov’l and fed’l action is urgently needed to uphold the Canada Health Act. @MarjoriePLC@MarkJCarney

Standing room only in Charlottetown at last night’s panel on fighting AB’s Bill 11 two tier “dual practice” queue jumping health care. #cdnpoli Today we rally in front of the meeting of the Premiers at the Council of the Federation. @FriendsMedicare@OntarioHealthC@CanadiansOrg@JMACL3AN@CLCVPSiobhan
Ford forced the majority of our hospitals into deficit & is threatening takeover if they don’t make cuts. At the same time, his gov't is shifting $1 billion & more than 1 million patients to private clinics. They’re privatizing our hospitals unless we stop them. 🧵👇

Our new legal opinion says the federal gov’t has already clearly spoken on what the AB government is doing w/ Bill 11. The answer is no to the queue jumping the UCP is putting in place. (That’s what the Cambie case was about.) The Minister of Health needs to apply the Canada Health Act. #cdnpoli

Alberta has passed Bill 11, allowing doctors to charge unlimited fees at for-profit clinics while working in the public system. This is American-style health care, and if Alberta succeeds, other provinces will follow.
