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 edmontonsocialplanning.ca/20…

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.
Here's a translation of the UCP's AGM resolution #6 below: The UCP would prefer US-style, for-profit health care but since the Canada Health Act won't allow it, they'll just sneak in the for-profit part... And make sure they don't call it "two-tier health care." #ableg #abpoli

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

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.
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

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

Given his stellar record 💯⬇️
Replying to @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.

When petulant children refuse to behave themselves it's best to ignore them but @jkenney @CMOH_Alberta @JasonCoppingAB have brought Alberta to the brink & we cannot ignore them. Demand action now! #lockdown #COVID19AB @DShepYEG #AbLeg

This is an incredibly stupid and shortsighted action.
Replying to @JasonCoppingAB
@JasonCoppingAB if you are encouraging vaccination, why are you cancelling the vaxbus? The mobile clinic brought vaccines to people with barriers to accessing the vaccine. We need more programs to encourage vaccines NOT less. We support the vaxbus and @ab_vax

These guys are going to go down as two of the worst Premiers in Canadian history. What appalling disregard for human health Kenney and Moe have shown throughout the Covid 19 pandemic. – at Ottawa, Ontario
People in Alberta and Saskatchewan are dying from COVID-19 at about quadruple the rate as people in the rest of Canada. (Data source: health-infobase.canada.ca/co…)

Don’t hold your breath Andrew but thanks for asking.
I'm just going to leave this here for you, @JasonCoppingAB. We would all appreciate a response, but our health care workers need to know that your government isn't throwing them under the bus. If you're not prepared to speak up and demand an apology from Getson, let us know too.
