Opened Facebook this morn & saw 2 fundraisers from U.S. friends to help pay medical debt, and saw dear friend lose his wife to cancer last night & is now in medical debt for the rest of his life.

This is the future some parties want in Canada. There are millions of voters lining up to bring this reprehensible model to our nation.

The next AB election is May 29. Vote like your life depends upon the outcome

@ToddCrawshaw It is definitely not going to be fun if we revert to the times when people didn't go to a doctor until it was too late.
@ToddCrawshaw I fear this is what the Tories have in mind for the UK too...but they are less transparent about it. Their actions however, speak louder than their words.

@JugglingWithEggs @ToddCrawshaw the tories have hated the NHS since its founding
Anyone who says ā€œhealthcare will be more efficient because of the free marketā€ is either being paid to do so or they’re a fucking moron

Do public systems have problems? yes. Literally nothing that taxing rich people won’t fix. And you don’t lose your house for a broken leg.

@ToddCrawshaw Alberta. Saskatchewan. Ontario. A lot of cons seeing dollar signs instead of a public service.
@ToddCrawshaw Please don’t let that happen. Not only will it hurt your finances… insurance companies and big pharma will gleefully toss you all into poverty. Not to mention how much these companies totally corrupt politicians!
Covid vaccinations were chaotic until Publix paid off #DeathSantis so they could get enough vaccine doses to offer shots by appointment.
@ToddCrawshaw It is also what those behind the Intept & corrupt UK govt want for Britain. Sadly, it appears Brits are too insipid to stand up for their rights, so intoxocated as they are with feudal monarchy, sham democracy, spitfires that made it to the moon, myths of a gleaming British Empire that never existed & images of plucky good chaps wrapped in union jacks civilizing the world & protecting underdogs.
@ToddCrawshaw
Let the US be the example of what a healthcare insurance industry does to destroy the health of the people.
I have good health insurance. I will still be paying off my surgery costs from last January until this July. I paid thousand over a thousand $$ for the surgery before it could be booked. I spent four months fighting with the surgery center after to get my repayment plan corrected from their mistake. And I fight insurance to get my scripts filled regularly.
