At the lab for bloodwork. Since I have an appointment, I shouldn't have to wait more than two hours. 😏

So, let’s see if I have this right:

2019: UCP has a hissy fit, cancels the expansion of lab services and strangles it.

2022: UCP gives the whole mess over to DynaLIFE, who then proceeds to further bungle access

2023: UCP is now going to buy DynaLIFE out?

Tell me again how privatization is ‘more efficient’, and more importantly, why Albertans should pay DynaLIFE execs $ for their bungle?

😡

As we are considering the last 4 years under the UCP, remember this little chestnut 👇

This was in the middle of the pandemic.

Vote wisely.

This was March 2020.
The UCP attack on physicians continued as we were preparing for the oncoming pandemic.

It is only a matter of time before one of the campaigns this provincial election share a platform pledge to launch a government-backed crowdfunded healthcare GoFundMe website.

The provincially-owned bank, ATB, already have a GoFundMe-esque platform that has been in use for the last 5 years, primarily for funding small business ventures.

Here's why diverting 911 calls to the 811 system is stupid. 811 is no better equipped to assess a patient than 911 is - until boots on the ground get there and see the patient, you cannot make a clinical decision.

When you are dealing with the elderly, what sounds "minor" can in fact be very, very serious.

This decision on the part of the AB govt is not "clever" or "efficient", it is deadly.

We cannot risk four more years with Danielle Smith at the helm of our crumbling public healthcare.

Alberta’s NDP will end the chaos.

We will work with frontline professionals and we will ensure you NEVER pay out of pocket for the public healthcare you deserve.
