The Alberta government is dismantling its provincial health-care delivery organization, AHS, which will change the structure and decision-making for the entire health system in the province. Dr. James Talbot, former Alberta chief medical officer of health, tells CBC News that it seems like Alberta Health Services is being blamed for decisions made by the government.

They already pay for it. There is no cost to the government. Everything the government gives out is through directly taxing you or taxing you through inflation (expanding the money supply).

They actually think the healthcare was free because they didn't see a bill for it.

The UCP's party goal is to privatize Alberta's healthcare. The idea of disintegrating the AHS isn't to make it better, I would be willing to bet that the UCP doesn't know what the outcome of doing this will be. The goal of doing this is to inject inefficiencies into Alberta healthcare to worsen it to a point that the public will accept private health services as a solution to the problems in Alberta's healthcare system This was what they were thinking when they created the AHS super board to begin with. AHS was starting to find their footing, so the UCP had to dismantle it to keep everything aligned to what they want to do.

Bingo! That is exactly what they’re doing. In the process they are going to harm Albertans particularly rural Albertans. By dismantling AHS and creating silos for different areas of healthcare it means coordination between the different systems will no longer have been at the local level and will be done in Edmonton. I mean, for someone living in High River or Pincher Creek. Do they really want a bureaucrat in Edmonton making decisions about their access to healthcare? This is going to make access to healthcare slower, more bureaucratic, and overall the healthcare system will be much more expensive. This is why that central healthcare system administration was taken apart and replace with regional health authorities years ago. AHS was the next iteration to try to provide more efficiency but without centralizing everything.

So for the primary care system to coordinate with the acute care hospital system it’s going to have to go through Edmonton. For coordination between hospital systems and long-term care systems. Oh no longer be done at the local level I will have to go through Edmonton. That’s going to mean slower services, more waiting, more cost, more bureaucracy.

It means that coordination at the local level for primary care, like your family doctor, won’t be seamless with long-term care or acute care or mental health.

Healthcare has always been Edmonton and Calgary Centric. There was the best support for frontline mental health staff and mental health when there were regions and mental health boards. That was the last time child psychiatrists regularly attended rural mental health clinics. Now, any money that gets dedicated to “children’s mental health” never sees the frontline. In fact the frontline experiences position cutbacks, cutbacks to services, and budget cutbacks while management continues to grow bigger and bigger. So much less efficient as management argues with one another about how frontline should do the job. It’s so ridiculous it is laughable. Meanwhile kids are actually getting service from private agency or from businesses funding non profits to provide our healthcare.

This approach wasn’t designed in government offices. Smith has explained that it was designed through engagement with frontline staff.

Ding, ding, ding! You win 20 hours in a waiting room, and crippling medical debt. ...You did say anything after all.

@carlyar5281 6 месяцев назад

I’m sorry to say, but 9 hours is actually pretty good. In Ontario urgent patients wait at least 8 hours in the ER, it’s much more common to be 10 to 12 hours or more. If you’re waiting to be admitted to a bed, it’s often at least 24 hours. What the UCP is proposing will not improve the wait times in emergency. It will make it worse. Because the people going into ER often wouldn’t need to go if they had access to a primary care provider. The proposed changes will not address the primary care shortage. The reason why there’s a backlog in the ER is the volume, but also a lack of available acute care beds, and that is in large part due to a lack of long-term care beds. This proposed changes will make the transfer between acute care and long-term care much slower. It will also not address the shortage of long-term care beds. I understand the frustration! I refuse to go to the ER because waiting there will cause more harm than just trying to figure it out on my own. The only way I will end up in the ER if I’m taking there by ambulance and I’m unconscious. BUT just anything is not going to be better. It’s a hard pill to swallow, but things can be much much worse.

Great, another opinion from a marxist university expert. There are many physicians who do not agree on several issues. His comments are negative and include nothing that would change the status quo. Smith has been working on solutions for healthcare since she was in the Wildrose. The socialist expert above does not acknowledge the huge waste & inefficiencies in this bloated bureaucracy that was determined to be up to $1.9 billion by AHS a few years ago. Smith has already improved several key area issues like red alerts for ambulances, opening up the many rural ORs and increasing surgeries to make the wait lists smaller. The NDP simply throws more money at the system which results in more bloated bureaucracy at a higher cost with no results. Smith is bringing accountability back to the system and allowing decisions to be made locally, not out of some centralized system. This guy has no credibility.
