This is NOT the Health system we want.
Please address these issues. They are MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than municipal infill issues!!!
And they affect ALL Albertans!

[Parksy @PfParks]

Let's talk PROFITIZATION of healthcare.

Dual Billing is Step Three of the 3 step plan by govt

1 Help pay to build private facilities
2 Force more care in these private facilities
3 Allow Dual Billing without any discussion - drives workforce to private facilities

@ABDanielleSmith @AdrianaLaGrange @DanWilliamsAB
Will you lead by example??

[Parksy @PfParks]

I'd like to challenge @ABDanielleSmith and @AdrianaLaGrange to lead by example to help protect our struggling HC system.

Show some leadership for your HC System and Province.

Advocate for all ABs to get their vaccines, and maybe even show them you getting yours...

[Sherry rhodes @SherryDRhodes]

@ABDanielleSmith @AdrianaLaGrange
People in the know are offering solutions! Listen to them!

[Parksy @PfParks]

Solution: govt prov workforce plan and shift staffing to priority care
govt action: ignore, implement PRIVATE-PAY options that will rob more highly skilled ED nurses to do 9-5 lower acuity care

Solution: surg funding for docs and TLP
Action: none (>8 month delays, no action)

@AdrianaLaGrange
Why won’t you listen to the people on the front lines? They deal with these conditions EVERY DAY!

[Parksy @PfParks]

@AHS_media and @CovenantCA
Are your CEOs and team over in Sweden asking what they do when their EDs have 100% EIPs, 12-16 hour waits, and no in-pt beds to care for sick pts?

Oh wait... Sweden fixed that before adding any private-pay options...
maybe ask for help on ED flow!

“The premier needs to allow emergency physicians to participate in her capitalist panacea. I’m sure she won’t want to deny emergency patients the right to buy their way out of the chaos.”

Brilliant satire from Dr Paul Parks!

@ABDanielleSmith @AdrianaLaGrange @DanWilliamsAB THIS!!

[Steve Flindall @flindall_steve]

@PfParks There's no two ways about. There is no excess physician or healthcare worker supply. Private clinics will, of necessity, pirate from the public system.

[Sherry rhodes @SherryDRhodes]

@ABDanielleSmith @DanWilliamsAB
Dual practice does NOT work!! Why are you pursuing this?

[Parksy @PfParks]

Let me be clear: we know from evidence in countries around the world that physician dual practice drains resources away from the public system and, in many cases, increases wait times for public patients.

This goes directly against the spirit of the Canada Health Act.

It has been studied. Your changes will cost more and people will suffer!

[Jon Meddings @JMeddings]

How often does this need to be studied?

Diverting to private pay creates:
1. More expensive care
2. More delayed care

Endless claims that this is the answer have been proven wrong.

Wait times increasing for procedures outsourced to for-profit https://t.co/hFtyxd1K55

[Sherry rhodes @SherryDRhodes]

@DanWilliamsAB these policies are going to COST all of us! They are unfair and you are trying to sneak them past us. STOP!

[Parksy @PfParks]

All while HC Access worsens... the UCP plan is to implement HIDDEN TAXES!

This is the very definition of TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION

They did NOT run on this, and they aren't even bothering to tell you about it...

The referendum is a WASTE of $. Look what you could spend it on instead!

[Jason Scott 🇨🇦 @JasonOnTheDrums]

#ableg

Separatist Danielle Smith is spending $136M taxpayer dollars on a BOGUS non-binding separatist referendum

Albertans don’t NEED this

We NEED more hospitals, schools, and supports.

Here’s EXACTLY what that $136,000,000 could ACTUALLY get for Albertans INSTEAD::

@ABDanielleSmith @AdrianaLaGrange
Why not try something that could actually help?

[Braden Manns @BradenMannsYYC]

Most Canadians think they're waiting in the surgical line. The reality? They're waiting in one surgeon's line – we actually have dozens of parallel queues alongside each other - and that can mean a 3‑month wait for one patient and an 18‑month wait for another with the exact same problem. This series explores what actually works to fix surgical waitlists. Read more at https://t.co/93dnpw9EAX

@ABDanielleSmith @DanWilliamsAB
Who is in charge?
The system needs a leader that has some control!!

[Parksy @PfParks]

@MargTokar @JMeddings Yep

AHS can do NOTHING about it.
ACA leads can do Nothing about it… they’re not “operational”!
ALA leads aren’t even thinking about EMS and EDs!

No one is running this HC System!

[Sherry rhodes @SherryDRhodes]

@ABDanielleSmith
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS !!!

[Parksy @PfParks]

The Premier has made massive changes to the HC system… she’s been “experimenting”… she’s privatizing… she’s disintegrating

EMS response times are getting worse

She “owns” the results of this system

The Premier is accountable for the horrendous outcomes and worsening Access

[Sherry rhodes @SherryDRhodes]

@ABDanielleSmith @DanWilliamsAB
This Albertan says ‘enough is enough’
Listen to the people who know how the system works!

[Parksy @PfParks]

Take a look and see what the UCP HC announcements have all been about.

They don't have a plan for acute care... for safe and timely care...

They cancelled the only new EDM hospital that could have been opened already...

When will Albertans say enough is enough?
5/5

[Sherry rhodes @SherryDRhodes]

@AdrianaLaGrange @DanWilliamsAB
This is a consequence of your privatization plans!!
Albertans will die!!
Please reconsider

[MondoAB @MondoABx]

You may not have Health Care Workers available in an emergency because they are working private, non emergency surgeries.

[Sherry rhodes @SherryDRhodes]

@ABDanielleSmith
Please send out revised forms to protect the integrity of the vote!

[𝘾𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙧𝙖 𝙍𝙖𝙪𝙜𝙪𝙨𝙩🇨🇦 @ThisIsMeCassie]

.@ElectionsAB You told Albertans we could vote by mail without giving a reason.

Then you mailed us an official declaration asking us to sign that we are “unable to vote in person” when that is NOT true, with serious penalties attached to false declarations.

Now your solution is: just cross it out?

Absolutely not.

After the data breach, trust was already damaged. I will not alter an official voting document by hand and hope for the best.

You sent the wrong paperwork. You fix it.

Send every affected Albertan a corrected ballot package.

@ABDanielleSmith @DanWilliamsAB
Who is responsible for?

[Parksy @PfParks]

Our HC system has no unified accountable leadership

EMS leads will scramble and try to "solve" this ambulance delay problem independent of the rest of the entire system

There is NO ONE person currently in charge of our HC system.

Don't believe me? Tell me who it is?!
8/9

[Sherry rhodes @SherryDRhodes]

@ABDanielleSmith

[Parksy @PfParks]

If the Minister thinks docs can work more, then why NOT get them to work more on the pts who are dying and need life-threatening and cancer surgeries, in our EMPTY ORS?

Why not make the priority to bolster and support 24/7 hospital OR utilization?
