PROTECTING HEALTHCARE

The COVID Pandemic has highlighted several flaws with the system designed to provide healthcare to Albertans. First, the centralized model of healthcare has removed decisions away from the people that AHS is designed to serve. Policies that may make sense in downtown Edmonton, simply don’t work in Grand Prairie or Medicine Hat. Second, how we manage our healthcare dollars needs to be reviewed. This means more front-line workers, and less sunshine list managers. This means expanding rural ambulance service, and not firing front line workers for their religious beliefs. As the Buffalo Party reaches out to Albertans over the coming months, we want to hear from you and hear your ideas on how we can fix our healthcare system not only for today, but a sustainable plan for Alberta’s future. A healthy economy begins with healthy people, together we can Unleash Alberta’s Potential by improving our healthcare system today.
