Did you hear that Tim Houston and Michelle Thompson of Nova Scotia? Study shows "free prescription drugs ... suggest covering the cost of medication produces overall savings for the health-care system." It's time to consider pharmacare for everyone and not just for low income families.

@unionmaidns Hardly, I wonder if we factor that in effectively when writing report card? It's treating it this causal way that caused the Healthcare to deteriorate worse

Don't get hurt!

That's like putting off your emergencies for a second month in a row?

@unionmaidns It's as if has a death wish? Crash and Burn on the next election. No promises met, no due diligence handling an epidemic that was somewhat controlled before he put his own people in Healthcare as incompetent as he is.

@mattdagley It seems like All the Con does, is throw money around and still have nothing? 20 million would have built two low rental apartments and a homeless shelter, or built from scratch what isn't worth anything without such a generous offer. Check if Marriot is related to ?

@bronwenjones And the rollout even to rural Halifax isn't for some time. I pass two closed Emergency department on the way to the city hospitals when I need Healthcare. THEY ARE BOTH HALIFAX hospitals so not really considered RURAL in terms of paying the right money to staff a rural emergency department. is still creating more problems , not yet solving any. ..

@Michelle When you have care , it's great but it's not because of any Government that I have a doctor, it's because I'm determined and apparently lucky, what I have, I got without and you won't get one, because of him. My minor surgery got an after-care call today, to see how I was feeling. Pretty good to know someone follows up and is concerned about my health. The Premier is NOT concerned. He endures no hardship as a result of his bad healthcare situation

@Michelle , the direct responsibility of , we see CON Premiers try to pass some their duties to private, without a cut in pay? If they don't do their job & pass the buck, why are they paid to be Premier? It's their inability to govern, that put us in this mess. There's no guarantee of keeping a family doctor. My mum lost her family doctor to retirement! Private has doctors/nurses, but people we've paid handsomely for this service, want to be paid, w.o doing their job.

@mattdagley On paper it works out, but yet, two months, 60 days, One of Halifax's emerg depts is closed continuously. The EHS accessing records won't change that. EHS speed won't increase. Lite flight promises won't change the waiting time in Cobequid Emerg because that's all we have.. that and promises. Nothing in all these recommended changes has shown any improvement, services have further declined. I see this as political padding.

Remember when a emergency dept was closed for the entire month of January? Now it's all February 2023 too. That's our Healthcare in a nutshell. There is none, except in city, for entire HRM, rural hospitals are neglected, funded as if they were downtown, without adequate Emerg Staff money, gerrymandering by neglect, our Premier & his hand-picked staff. @TimBousquet

Emerg Dept @ Memorial Hospital remains closed nshealth.ca/temporary-service-

Do we really need to outsource government responsibilities as corporate PR social media contests?

‘De-pressurizing the police’

Department crisis

La Vieille Maison dates to 1796

Moving patients by air
They took away the municipal bus, EHS is slim and all over the province, do you think they'd fly me to Halifax for surgery?
Still the level of remains the same

Nova Scotia's first snowstorm is just about washed away.
I've gained a few *ponds* in the front and back yard. The ground is too frozen to absorb it, and it's going to be eroding the lawns washing off.
I might take a break from my research and go watch the river swell...

and 😅 promises $20 million to clear your storm drains by 2025

@bronwenjones Absolutely. And tone deaf and other Councilors are still bragging about Emerg Alerts when they don't reach the end of rural Halifax. I survived Fiona without even radio signals or wellness checks, in a community without essential services. I haven't seen emergency department open in 40 years. For Emergencies, I have to pass two Halifax Region hospitals to go to the overcrowded city. Many folks have no INTERNET yet, I am fortunate to have Fiber

NS Department rolls out plan to deliver improved care quicker
saltwire.com/halifax/news/nova

“The recent tragic losses in Cumberland and Cape Breton have added to the sense of urgency,” Thompson said. “Everyone working in emergency care do all they can, day in and day out, to provide the best possible care for their patients. This plan should help them help their patients get the care they need more quickly.”

is finally capturing the story of rural hospital in ,
atlantic.ctvnews.ca/we-deserve where the Emerg Dept is closed,& 1 hour to the next , maybe open medical center.

wouldn't know the details unless he watches .
We're a unique situation in Rural . We've been degraded by closing, no transit & politicians ignoring their responsibility, at all levels of government

This is where I expect to die.

@Michelle Sometimes, the product or store that you infrequently use, is more than sticker shock. We have closed emergency depts for a whole month, and people dying in ones that are open, and is promising fixes in 5-6 years on Senior care residences, that will just open beds they occupy in Hospitals now. He's got a lot of balls to think he will still be Premier when his money promise year comes around . is worse than before we elected a Con.

@CMacLT thinks that promises fix "That's why I'm pledging 20 million dollars over the next 5 years" kind of rhetoric when he has less time in office. Also, we need the money for it NOW, we need the DOCTORS now, and if he thinks Private is better, he's also unsuitable to be fixing healthcare. Unburdening him of the Premier's role and duties, and if they have doctors, why does private and not public? Do they hate Houston's Healthcare response? Everyone goes private?
