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

Albertans know that @jkenney cannot blame the destruction of our healthcare system on the COVID-19 pandemic. calgary.ctvnews.ca/an-astoun…

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

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…)

For anyone who wants a simple explanation of how vaccines work watch this short video. Brilliant, brief, accurate.
Watch the new #FamilyGuy Short! Stewie and Brian travel inside Peter’s body to explain how vaccines work. Have questions about the COVID-19 vaccines? Visit GetVaccineAnswers.org for the most accurate and timely facts so we can all get back to the moments we love and miss most.

Declining to be vaccinated is like drinking and driving. You and your own family are most likely to be hurt but you put innocent bystanders at risk. @jkenney @shandro @CMOH_Alberta we need a vaccine passport. We need @RachelNotley and @albertaNDP @AbForward @VarsityNDP

O’Toole just had two more chances to categorically deny that he will introduce more for-profit, Americanized health care and he couldn’t do it. #ableg #cdnpoli #Elxn44

I am a kidney donor & this devastates me. I have 1st hand experience of all the feels, for me & the recipient, the night before surgery. Delaying a life saving surgery for someone who gives ZERO F’s about others, hell no. Not ok. If you choose no vax, back of the bus.

I'm hearing that @shandro and @CMOH_Alberta will finally be holding a media availability today. I'm hoping media will ask some HARD questions. I have some suggestions. 1. Dr. Hinshaw, where is the data you promised to share weeks ago? /1

For >30 years it’s been known that private healthcare COSTS MORE and provides inferior care, even in Europe and Australia. If ANY conservatives @jkenney @erinotoole @shandro @JasonCoppingAB have alternate evidence show us.I am fighting the selloff. See canadiandoctorsformedicare.c…
Canada's public, universal health care system is one of our greatest strengths. It's part of what makes us who we are as a country. Last year, as COVID-19 raged, Erin O'Toole was asked if he would bring private, "for-profit" healthcare to Canada. He responded unequivocally: yes.

The Section of EM wrote a letter to Dr. Verna Yiu this week. “there appears to be a serious disconnect between AHS leadership’s understanding of the growing Access Block within…EDs across the province and with AHS’s internal and external public communications.” /1

While we wait for COVID modeling data, I remind my MLA @JasonCoppingAB that last fall he promised to show the data that supports adding a private tier of healthcare. No data yet the @jkenney and #UCP sell us off. My main motivation to enter politics! @AbForward @RachelNotley

Watch carefully for details. They’re not reversing everything. They expect testing to be done by primary care without supporting them for the cost/safety. @jkenney repeatedly makes it sound like a gift to return a fraction of what he just took away. We need @RachelNotley
Replying to @CBCNews
@CBCNews is reporting: "Alberta is putting a pause on lifting restrictions amid rises cases." IMHO, cases already rising before now. Alta gov actually backtracking bec of pushback from medical community, & by average ABns - in the form of letters, emails & rallies. Well done ✅

I’ll keep it simple. I’m glad that there’s (at least a temporary) delay in removing the safety net of TTI. I’m flabbergasted that after clearly stating kids are at higher risk than originally thought, there are no enhanced safety measures in place for school return. #abhealth
