@gemelliz Missing the point completely that the reason for public healthcare is so that you don’t have to think twice before going to emergency. It helps to keep people who are short on cash from dying unnecessarily. Sounds about right for the UCP. Who votes for these corrupt asshats???

Exactly.
Would Mr. Neudorf 'think twice' about going to the emergency if one of his five kids were suddenly ill or injured??

@Yup_Its_Holly @gemelliz Emergency is also not the first choice for most of these people. Thousands of Albertans have lost access to family physicians due to the UCP. Even with physicians in your area, many can no longer reach them because they close before they get off work, due to restrictions on number of patients that the UCP imposed on physicians. Emergency wait times have gone up to about 8-14 hours in many hospitals. Most stuck in them are not there by choice, while the UCP victim-blames.

@ned @Yup_Its_Holly #Alberta, don’t be #Ontario.
A year ago, physician, Dr. Nancy Olivieri tried to warned us about privatization and profiteering in medicine. People shrugged. Doug Ford won. Today, #Ontario underfunds hospitals, then pretends they don't work, and then siphons off taxpayer money to private, for-profit clinics, some located within our public hospitals.

It’s hard to miss Ford’s ongoing enthusiastic privatization of our health care, writes Nancy Olivieri.

You defined Conservatism in a nutshell:

Campaign on "Gov't doesn't work" then get elected & prove it by destroying gov't services.
