And this is why your Alberta Health Services My Health account has a place to input your payment info. The alarms were raised when that system went live, and contrary to the #UCP lies, it was put there for exactly this reason: paying for healthcare in #Alberta. #DeportDanielle

@annecavicchi now we can see what Carney really believes in. This goes against the Canada Health Act. All he has to do is enforce the law.

@Geoffberner apparently the act doesn’t forbid the provision of care by private companies, as long as residents are not charged for insured health services.

@annecavicchi whatever they may say about how they interpret the law, they are shutting down medicare. If Carney wants to stop it, he can.
