@roger4LivMac If this was about sustainability, the evidence is clear that investing in primary care is where lives and money can be saved.
These cuts do the opposite.
These cuts just serve @shandro and his private insurance company.

@roger4LivMac @shandro Adding Family Physicians to a population improves health outcomes greater than any other physician group. For every additional 10 family physicians per 100,000 population, there are 15 fewer deaths, 40 fewer hospitalizations7 and an average increase in life expectancy of 52 days
@roger4LivMac @shandro Ontario communities that lost > 3 Family Physicians per 100,000 population had a ~20% decrease in 5 year breast cancer survival.
@roger4LivMac @shandro Every year, 470 Alberta women currently die of breast cancer.
@roger4LivMac @shandro If Alberta were to lose 129 family physicians, an additional 470 potentially avoidable breast cancer deaths will occur over 5 years.

@roger4LivMac @shandro In summary, access to a primary care workforce which provides comprehensive patient care improves patient outcomes (death) and decreases health care utilization (emergency room visits, hospitalizations and readmissions) and health care costs.
@roger4LivMac @shandro But Andrea Shandro asked her husband to chase family doctors out of Alberta. Shandros know it is the most efficient way to make public healthcare fail.
