Private Equity & Premiers are organizing on healthcare.

If we value HC we need to continually organize to have a voice or risk loosing more supt.

It did for me as well. I believe sharing personal stories is the only thing that will impact change in healthcare. If enough people share their story the news cannot ignore it.

Premiers don’t seem to be accountable on healthcare.

If enough demand a national citizens assemble the Fed Gov should act

"In Canada I could take entrepreneurial risks fearlessly knowing that I had universal health care and a social safety net to fall back on. Given all that it’s invested in me, I wonder: is Canada getting what it deserves in return?"

I get their emails.
There have been petitions & email campaigns for health advocacy.

I wonder if Canada health Coalition would be willing to lead a campaign for a national citizens assembly on at least privatization & for profit vs non-profit delivery.

Premiers are not as accountable as they claimed when they demanded more health transfers without strings.

Canadians need to unite somehow to change the power dynamics

How do Canadians become organized in advocating to strengthen healthcare?

If we change the game on Premiers and Prov Gov’s we will get some real action and system level accountability.

We need to put in the work as a society to ensure we get what we want. Premiers are ignoring advocates that attempt to influence good change & accountability.

Don’t forget to look at both Japan & S Korea, they rank at the top and offer more for less.

Change the game & power dynamics.

Here is an option we might not have given enough weight over the years:

Time to write the new PM and ask for a citizens assembly on healthcare? ⤵️

Wouldn’t be unreasonable to follow S Koreas lead if Canadians want more hospital beds

Write to your MLA/MPP and MP. Share this info widely. Fact check it carefully, if you wish. And remain vigilant to these hidden encroachments to our Canadian way of life.

The sale of LifeLabs to a foreign owner occurred on Eby & Dix’s watch.

There was no public move to stop it, no public move to buy BC’s assets and bring them into public fold.

HC should be designed by citizens assembly, not politicians & donors

LifeLabs workers are on strike in BC, resulting in rotating lab closures. I have to go to the lab often and offer the following explainer in solidarity with the workers. #LifeLabsStrike🧵

Greetings. BlueSky denizens-the Canadian Health Coalition/Coalition canadienne de la santé is here. Bonjour à tous et toutes ! Nous sommes là. ❤️

Sorry to hear this.

Are you able to queue for outpatient care somewhere or is it cost prohibitive?

I think some prov’s allow Family Dr’s to offer mental healthcare.

It is apparent we have a number of issues in our health system that politicians and high priced executives are not solving.

LifeLabs is now foreign owned - the main healthcare lab service in 3 Provinces, BC, Sask & Ontario.

Not one politician resisted this across Canada.

The sale was well telegraphed, ample time for Prov’s to get involved.

Political ideology is damaging our single payer healthcare.

Regular Canadians should decide key structures for healthcare.

1) what regions want nationalized jurisdiction vs Prov/ Territory delivered.

2)
-for profit vs non-profit delivery.
-ratio of private owners vs public owned assets and services.

Political party ideology and politician connections should not be driving our health system(s) in Canada.

Let’s have a cross country checkup and ask about citizens assemblies to guide system design and jurisdiction.

@ianhanomansing.bsky.social

I propose citizens assembly on healthcare.

Funded federally, conducted as individual groups in each Prov & Territory.

Phase 1:
-Jurisdiction: Nationalize vs continued Regions.
#cdnhealth

Amalgamate groups supporting nationalizing.

Regions against nationalize stay siloed.

Decisions binding.

If politicians ignore research we pay for, why do we research anything in Canada?

Serious question.

Can’t blame Trudeau for not paying for another national commission, it’d be ignored.

The last commission had tones of nationalizing for a reason.
#cdnhealth #cdnpoli #liberaldebate #cdnmedia

This National Commission on Healthcare was 2 decades ago ⤵️

Timeline for 47 recommendations was excessively easy to hit.

ALL Prov’s Failed.

Elections don’t work.

Need a binding Citizens Assembly on HC

Hashtags for Canadian healthcare and key words like provinces and healthcare.
Might need to put effort into excluding some things.
Have not been watching too closely the last few weeks.

Let's not forget that if there are complications from surgery, performed in these facilities, they also get dumped into the public system

Govt has prioritized day surgery over URGENT limb and life threatening surgery.

(and if you don't need surgery, but are sick, you will wait days in an ED to get your medical conditions cared for because hospitals are overflowing w pts waiting for surgical care!)

It's all connected.

As usual, Dr. Parks is right. In July, my mom smashed her tibia into multiple pieces. She had to wait almost a week for emergency surgery with nothing but a splint and some painkillers that kind of worked. #ableg #abhealth

Thank you to everyone that supported and shared the email campaign!

The Federal Ministry of Health has not responded.

Closing email was sent.

Want to reduce unnecessary duplication in system admin?

Check out this email campaign

It will close this weekend.
