Wake up Alberta!
Stop privatization of healthcare. Please do not see the people of Alberta as a commodity that can be exploited through privatization of healthcare. Nurture these wonderful people with your love and inclusion and allow them to flourish beyond our imaginations.

Say NO to privatization of Alberta healthcare.
When a healthcare system makes profit from someone’s illness, we have forsaken our humanity and that is a sign of an ill society. We should keep healthcare as a service based practice and not transform it into a business.

Research Update: Privatization Pressure in Alberta Health Care

“The UCP’s disruptive transformation of laboratory services in Alberta rewards a large corporation and its shareholders over the current and long-term interests of Albertans.”

@1world_1people_ @drfarha077 @CalgarySWSJ @wingkarli @Lorian_H @ActivistAlberta @PatientAdvisors @patientrev @ping_ml Agree 💯- feeling uncomfortable is not be a license to oppress. It is an opportunity to look inside and unpack why you are triggered.

[Lorian Hardcastle @Lorian_H]

While the prior UCP policy explicitly endorsed 2-tier care, the insidious creep of privatization through significantly increased private delivery, corporatization, and pushing the boundaries of what the CHA allows may be just as harmful to the public system in the long run.

@SPhillipsAB @JasonCoppingAB Previous governments invested millions in recruiting and retaining physicians - particularly rural dr. UCP’s war on healthcare workers has squandered that investment. Everyone needs a primary care Dr. It is good for people and HC system. If you can’t find one write your MLA.

[Dr. Luanne Metz @luanne_metz]

Albertans know that @jkenney cannot blame the destruction of our healthcare system on the COVID-19 pandemic. https://t.co/nRTa2OMuCl

We are in trouble. UCP has done lasting harm and must be defeated. 👇

[Heme Doc @LabsandMAbs]

Update on Physician supply in Alberta:
Approximate numbers Oct 2020 vs Oct 2021:
Total family docs accepting new patients: 800 vs 580 = 28% drop
Calgary 300 vs 245 = 18% drop
Edmonton 150 vs 85 = 43% drop
Regional (MH, Leth, RD, Airdrie, GP, FM)= 6x15 = 90 vs 30 = 67% drop

Thank you Druh, we are with you.

The UCP passed the legislative framework to allow corporations to bill our govt for HC delivery prior to covid. This failed government cannot be trusted to make decisions on HC. @Lorian_H @luanne_metz #abhealth @shazmamithani

[Protect Our Health Care @AbForward]

So here we go folks. Under the cover of a UCP induced crisis, they will now increase Corp delivery of our HC. We once again ask Minister Copping to share the evidence on which he is making any such decisions.

[Jason Copping @JasonCoppingAB]

The last year and a half have taken a tremendous toll on Albertans, healthcare providers and our healthcare system.

The most critical need, and my first and immediate priority, is building our health system capacity. 1/8

[Protect Our Health Care @AbForward]

@TheoMoudakis @TorontoStar Sadly many healthcare workers are grounded and must tend to the inevitably seriously ill.

[Protect Our Health Care @AbForward]

This may come as a surprise to you if you live on 🪐

[Protect Our Health Care @AbForward]

@jkenney is not fit to run a lemonade stand let alone a province in crisis.

[Jennifer Gunter @DrJenGunter]

The Alberta government has been catastrophic

Given his stellar record 💯⬇️

[Andrew Leach 🇨🇦 @andrew_leach]

Kenney would love to be Lougheed, and he'd love for you to give him that chance. Given his record, it's probably more likely he'd end up accidentally gifting the oil sands to PEI in exchange for a jellyfish. But, he'd never admit it. Seriously, don't give him any excuse. Not one.
