A Letter From an Alberta Doctor

Check out this thread to read @RajSherman’s full letter.
Coming November 1st
In case you missed it, Primary Care will be split from Alberta Health Services beginning November 1st, 2024.
How to Fix Healthcare?
Healthcare is a concern for many people. In this X thread, Dr. Meddings identifies what is needed to improve healthcare in Alberta. According to him, “[t]here is nothing magical about how to fix our healthcare system. There is no ‘private’ in here and it is all currently doable given political will.”
OK, guess I'm grumpy these days. Here is a short thread on what Alberta needs to do to fix healthcare. If I were to give a title? Perhaps "It's Not Hard. Really."
