Government “offered” that physicians pay for all future population growth and inflation out of physician compensation and by making I’ll-advised changes that will do immense harm to the public care system. Yes we turned it down.” @shandro @jkenney #yourHealthCare 1/6
The AMA offered immediate savings & suggested binding arbitration to resolve our differing views on compensation. We also offered a public commission—government, public, physicians—to advise the @GoAHealth Minister. 2/6
@shandro's poorly considered and ill-advised changes will damage patients & reduce services. He needs the advice and he needs to bring the public in. #yourHealthCare 3/6
@yourAlberta claims to have been reasonable and that the “numbers” back them up. So why did they rip up the doctor contract that provided for arbitration? Because the numbers do not back them up — they will not stand up against an objective review. @jkenney #yourHealthCare 4/6
The public deserves to know the truth. Both AMA and government should submit their information on physician compensation to an independent, objective review through binding arbitration. The results should be made public. #whatsToHide? #yourHealthCare #publicHealthCare 5/6
We need more information, less spin and less acts of random, damaging, ill-informed health policy making. Begin with binding arbitration on physician compensation, make it public @shandro #whatsToHide? #yourHealthCare 6/6
