Hey Canada especially Alberta and Ontario - the American pay through the nose system doesn't keep rural hospitals open either. Properly funding public healthcare can.

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding.
Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

Hundreds of rural hospitals are at risk of closing, threatening critical care
Hospital officials told CBS News the closure was driven by the same factors that have closed other rural hospitals: low reimbursement rates.

Excellent thread. #Canada #PublicHealthCare
Back in school, I wrote an essay about how two-tier healthcare would improve access for everyone.

Picard’s point on AB’s new “dual practice” plan: evidence shows letting surgeons bill public & private won’t fix wait times, it likely lengthens them, drains staff from public hospitals, adds red tape, and undermines access.
