With health coalitions across the country, we are calling on federal Liberal MPs to stand up to them, enforce the Canada Health Act, and save public health care. This is just the first set of actions in our fightback.

In Ontario, Doug Ford is privatizing our public hospitals' services at an unprecedented rate while allowing private clinics to charge patients thousands of dollars for needed care.

The Danielle Smith government has passed a new law to bring down single-tier Public Medicare and bring in U.S. private health care and insurance.

"This is unequivocally the biggest threat to our single-payer, universal Medicare system we've ever seen. Not just for Albertans, but for all Canadians." - @friendsofmedicare.bsky.social. Rally locations below⬇️

Public health care in Canada is under a full-on privatization attack and the forces leading the charge are citing numbers that don't make sense.

With health coalitions across the country, we are calling on federal Liberal MPs to stand up to them, enforce the Canada Health Act, and save public health care. This is just the first set of actions in our fightback.

Alberta's Danielle Smith gov't has launched a full-on attack to end single-tier Public Medicare & bring in U.S. private health care. Doug Ford is privatizing our public hospitals' services & allowing private clinics to charge patients thousands of dollars for needed care.

Canadian sovereignty means standing up for our values: our public health care is facing the most urgent crisis we have seen since its inception.

If this federal government does not find some strength and stand up for Public Medicare, we’re going to lose it in Canada.

Canada Strong is healthy people who get the care they need when they need it, regardless of location or ability to pay.

Privatization is not the solution. It makes wait lists longer and allows queue-jumping for the few who can afford it.

#onpoli #abpoli #cdnpoli #healthcare #hospital #nursing #dougford #daniellesmith #markcarney #ontario #alberta #canada

Canadian sovereignty has to mean something. Fundamental to the values that underlie our society is that we take care of each other. That is part of what makes us Canadian.

#onpoli #abpoli #cdnpoli #healthcare #hospital #nursing #dougford #daniellesmith #markcarney #ontario #alberta #canada

It's more important than ever to counter disinformation from pro-privatization forces because the problem is not public health care. The problem is cuts and privatization.

#onpoli #abpoli #cdnpoli #healthcare #hospital #nursing #dougford #daniellesmith #markcarney

Privatization is not about wait times. It's about dismantling public health care.

For-profit clinics & hospitals cost us more, not less.

The threat that Alberta’s Bill 11 poses is a direct assault on the Canada Health Act. (Natalie Mehra, executive director of the Ontario Health Coalition)
