This is astounding.

It shows Albertans paid double - sometimes triple! - for surgeries at private surgical facilities connected to friends of the UCP than through AHS.

And the Premier’s staff & Health Minister allegedly pressured & then fired the CEO of AHS when she asked questions about them.

Given what has been going on within the public health care system, especially the ongoing closures in rural Alberta, this data is horrifying.

During 5+ years of a UCP government, our children being denied access to health care has become normal.

But it is not normal.

And we should not accept it.

Health care is a provincial responsibility. It’s long past time to hold the UCP responsible.
