Labour movement demands Prime Minister and Health Minister stop Alberta's two-tier health care law https://www.healthcoalition.ca/labour-movement-demands-prime-minister-and-health-minister-stop-albertas-two-tier-health-care-law/ @cdnhealthcoalition.bsky.social ↷ canadahealthwatch.ca/featured 🍁

Avec le projet de loi 11 de l'Alberta : même chirurgien, même chirurgie, même hôpital, mais si vous pouvez payer 30 000 $, vous êtes vu en un mois au lieu d'attendre jusqu'à 15 mois. C'est le système de santé à deux vitesses

Bill 11 means 2 Canadians can need the exact same surgery, see the exact same surgeon, & wait very different amounts of time. Can't pay $30,000 out of pocket? Wait 9 to 15 months. Can pay? You're in within the month. REPOST if you believe that care should be based on need, not the ability to pay!

6.4 million Canadians have CDCP coverage, but too many are still paying out of pocket. Repost if you agree - dental care should be part of universal health care.
