Privatized, for-profit healthcare that Canadian Conservatives & PC Premier Doug Ford want you to have instead of universal access healthcare. Big premiums, high deductibles and denial of medically recommended treatment. Don’t kid yourself, it would be exactly the same in 🇨🇦
When John Karadell was admitted to the hospital after a stroke, his doctors quickly pushed for him to begin an intensive form of rehabilitation — the sooner the better. But after 11 days in a hospital bed, Karadell said he learned his health insurer had denied coverage.
Why a Michigan man waited over a month in the hospital for stroke rehab
His doctors recommended that he start an intensive rehab program within days of his stroke.

The propaganda that Ottawa is root of all evil hurts AB.
Con’s sold off Petro Canada hurting the average tax payer and helped the CEO’s.
Tax payers were getting the profits.
Where would our country be if we didn’t sell Petro-Can to benefit CEO’s?
