Private insurance corporations are excited for privatized two-tier health care in Alberta

Private insurance corporations are excited for privatized two-tier health care in Alberta. It means corporations will profit and the rest of us will lose. Ottawa needs to enforce the Canada Health Act and protect public health care in Alberta.

Day of Action against Bill 11 and American-style health care in Alberta

Alberta's Bill 11 creates the legal framework for American-style, two-tier health care and the establishment of private health insurance, while allowing private payment for medically necessary care. This law will cause gross inequities in access to health care in Alberta and it threatens public health care across Canada.

United Nurses of Alberta encourages members to support a national day of action on September 1 to oppose two-tier American-style health care in Alberta.
