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? 🇨🇦✨ It’s time to stop the greed and start investing in our communities again. Share this to spread the truth. #Alberta #DanielleSmith #healthcare #public #peopleoverprofit
