Persistent staffing shortages have left nurses bearing the crushing weight of overcapacity health care systems across the country. Solutions start with supporting and respecting nurses and health care workers.

It is a shame that this government continues to forge ahead with policies based on ideology rather than the input of experts.

'1 death is too many, 165 is an extreme tragedy. All of these were preventable if we had proper legislation, proper protections, proper protocols in place': Chris Gallaway

FOM: “Health care workers deserve to be safe when they show up to care for us. We need a violence-prevention plan in place that includes addressing rampant short-staffing throughout our health care system. Violence is not part of the job”

“With so many health care workers experiencing rising rates of violence in their own workplaces, addressing violence within health care is also increasingly urgent. Health care workers deserve to be safe when they show up to care for us.”

Who said it? Pierre Poilievre or Big Pharma?

In his attacks on public pharmacare, the Conservative leader is copying verbatim the pharmaceutical industry’s talking points.

WATCH:

The issue with these clinics is that while they purport to charge for uninsured services, they problematically mingle uninsured and insured services such that patients are also getting preferential access to the latter.

EVERYONE in this country deserves the health care they need!

Earlier this month, we sent a letter to Prime Minister Trudeau and Minister Miller (Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship), supporting Migrant Rights Network #StatusForAll and the call for #StatusForAll . buff.ly/3whe4hE

Nurse practitioner deal announced...

“Yet another report shows that medical clinics in Alberta are using membership fees as a barrier to access medically insured services. It’s time for our provincial government to finally stand up for Albertans and act to end this practice.”

A new audit has found 40+ medical clinics advertising membership fees for access to health care.

This is a recurring & long unaddressed problem. We need action to finally ban medical access fees in AB!
