shorturl.at/DG6gf Federal universal health strings come with strings, per Canada Health Act. Alberta violates them with Bill 11, setting up 2-tier health care! U.S. private health care insurance industry has been hungrily eyeing Alberta’s steps towards two tier health care as a “market opportunity.”

@friendsofmedicare has been warning about this for months. The federal health minister is now saying it may break federal law.

There are only so many doctors in this province, and the UCP has decided on who gets them first.

This is how the #UCP celebrates Seniors Week?

“These are short-sighted changes that won’t meaningfully lower ever-increasing drug costs & will only serve to make life-saving medications more unaffordable for seniors,” said Gallaway, ED FOM. It’s shameful.

“Not only have we repeatedly subsidized private profits with our public health care dollars, but when these operators fail to turn a profit, it is always the public system left holding the bag.”

TELUS Health advertising $3000 MRIs to Albertans is the latest example of shameless two-tier profiteering. Why are these corporations being allowed to profit off our health needs??
