Albertans fighting back against UCP’s reckless cuts to Alberta’s healthcare system.
With COVID infections spiking again, today on #shiftpERspectives I’ll show you how to do and effective at home rapid swab for COVID-19. Don’t forget to leave questions for me to address later this week. #covid #rapidtest #COVID19 #Omicron
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
@RachelNotley @DShepYEG @SPhillipsAB I live in Lethbridge and I have Multiple Sclerosis as well as many other health issues. I need to be seen by my family doctor monthly at the very least. I had to drive an hour away to the small town of Cardston to get a family doctor. I can't afford the gas to go there monthly
Update on Physician supply in Alberta: Approximate numbers Oct 2020 vs Oct 2021: Total family docs accepting new patients: 800 vs 580 = 28% drop Calgary 300 vs 245 = 18% drop Edmonton 150 vs 85 = 43% drop Regional (MH, Leth, RD, Airdrie, GP, FM)= 6x15 = 90 vs 30 = 67% drop
The last year and a half have taken a tremendous toll on Albertans, healthcare providers and our healthcare system. The most critical need, and my first and immediate priority, is building our health system capacity. 1/8
The Alberta government has been catastrophic
Kenney would love to be Lougheed, and he'd love for you to give him that chance. Given his record, it's probably more likely he'd end up accidentally gifting the oil sands to PEI in exchange for a jellyfish. But, he'd never admit it. Seriously, don't give him any excuse. Not one.
