“To claim that all Albertans have access to drug coverage because they can buy a benefit plan if they can afford one is intentionally misleading & beyond offensive,” said FOM ED Chris Gallaway.

17% of Albertans have NO drug coverage. We need Pharmacare!

#Pharmacare will help many 🇨🇦 #ABGov shouldn’t opt out. No one should be denied their medications, pharmacare solves that problem. Yesterday I spoke w/ @cspotweet @630CHED about pharmacare & what it means for diabetics!

The #ABGov plan to opt out of #pharmacare that will cover diabetes meds is shameful & needs to stop!

We started the fight to get #IPTP back & won. This too we will win.

I spoke w/ CBC about a national #pharmacare program. It is a game changer for diabetics & we can’t wait for a full slate of meds in the program. We cant allow the AB UCP Govt to opt out! It’s time our they stop playing politics w/ our lives. #T1D #ableg #abhealth #pump4life

We are calling for the @YourAlberta to follow Manitoba’s lead and expand on diabetes care by covering CGMs. CGMs provide improved quality of life, better health and reduce urgent care by diabetics.

FOM and @Pump4LifeAB are calling on the Alberta government to follow Manitoba's lead in expanding diabetes care. Everyone deserves access to the medications and medical equipment they need!

@ShantelSherwood Solidarity with him and with you. Emotional labour on top of the heavy load of diabetes management is a lot.

[Pump4LifeAlberta @Pump4LifeAB]

@JasonCoppingAB when will you get back to us regarding our specific concerns & requests to be included in the working group? We have been waiting patiently for 4 months. #iptp #t1d #abhealth #abpoli #abndp

[Lesley Thompson (she/her) @Lesley_NDP]

Thanks @JasonCoppingAB for finally responding to my email(s) regarding #IPTP from May. I’m truly happy for the reversal of the cut & bringing back IPTP however I’d still like to know when you’ll get back to me on my specific concerns. #pump4life #t1d #abpoli #abndp #pharmacare
