Private surgery in #saskatchewan will transfer public dollars into private pockets. It will add a layer of costs.

Increasing capacity of our public system would be more efficient. #covid19sk #skpoli @drkyle @ShellyRiffel1 bit.ly/3IGAESa 🧵/ 1

Setting up private surgery within public health system is likely a step towards full privatization where patients would pay directly for for-profit surgery in contravention of the Canada Health Act. #covid19sk #skpoli @hinz_tamara / 2

This potentially explains Moe's bizarre flirtation with separation / separatists. It's not about a distinct “Western Canadian” or #SK’s “distinct culture,” it's about defying federal jurisdiction in order to advance their privatization agenda.#covid19sk #skpoli @SUNnurses / 3

Now we also have a burning curiosity about whether fundamental disagreement w/allowing private surgery into our system was behind the resignation of the SHA CEO, Scott Livingstone. #covid19sk #skpoli @drhassoun @RealTenille @awong37 @DennisKendel / 4
