Question from The Gritty Nurse

Posted on by

“Experts have already proven that dual-tier systems don’t fix wait times; they just prioritize profit over people. Why are we following like sheep when we should be leading the world in public health?”

Danielle Smith is leading Alberta into a den of hungry wolves. 🐺💔 While the US faces a massive healthcare brain drain and a collapse of institutional trust, the UCP is trying to import that exact failing model to Alberta. 🏥📉 This isn’t “innovation”—it’s the “Maple MAGA” agenda in full swing. Experts have already proven that dual-tier systems don’t fix wait times; they just prioritize profit over people.

Share this to spread the truth. #Alberta #DanielleSmith #healthcare #public #peopleoverprofit

How to Cure Jammed ERs?

“‘We have 30 or more (patients) leaving every day who just get tired of the wait. When we have these type of waits or backlogs happen in airports, there’s federal policy and quick rules and things are changed. When we have it in health care, we just shrug our shoulders.'” https://edmontonjournal.com/news/local-news/royal-alexandra-hospital-pilot-projects-emergency-department
