🚨 Alberta’s Two-Tier Healthcare plan is a threat to all Canadians from coast to coast to coast. While the rich get a fast lane to care, your costs and wait times are set to increase dramatically.
Tell Ottawa to act now and stop it. Sign the petition and send a letter: NoTwoTier.ca/CanadaHealthAct

ALBERTA: Bill 11 raises healthcare costs for everyone by introducing two-tier care ⚠️.
Families pay more out of pocket. Public wait times grow. Doctors move to elite private clinics for the rich. The public system gets weaker.

It lets doctors mix public and private work, giving faster access to people who pay while everyone else waits longer.

Danielle Smith’s Separatism Panel is about using tax-payer dollars to campaign on issues Albertans have already said they don’t support - with a HEALTHY sprinkle of xenophobia - to distract from her failure to create jobs, address cost of living, and deliver healthcare & education.
The end.
