I’m sensing a pattern here...THREAD

This week we found out:

Alberta doctors agreed to meet the government’s demand to cap physician spending at 4.57B. That offer has been sitting on Shandro’s desk for 19 days.

Why didn’t Shandro accept it or at least offer a counter proposal?

💎Thread💎

edmonton.citynews.ca/2020/07/15/alb… Alberta doctors started negotiating in November, but has had 6 proposal shot down by Shandro. Before negotiations began, Shandro introduced legislation to tear up the contract with Alberta doctors should negotiations fail.

The UCP's 10-step plan for turning a democracy into a dictatorship.

1. First, destroy labor unions, so people have no way to bargain for higher wages and less capacity for political organization.

marketwatch.com/story/a-10-ste… 2. Crack down on college students, so they won’t oppose you (hint: burden them with so much student debt and make it so hard for them to find good jobs that they won’t dare rock the boat).

@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

Now that @Albertadoctors are getting the courts to support the fight against #COVID19, it is time we use our energy to unite with other advocacy groups in Alberta for all social issues that affect our patients.

We support all Health Care Heroes! Alberta Doctors support our patients right to quality public education.

Evidence shows that patients involved in their healthcare decisions leads to better outcomes. Our paediatric patients need access to an effective and free education.

Alright @Albertadoctors, @CMA_Docs, @FamPhysCan:

@ABFamDocs stated that March 31st cuts will lead to:

Reduced continuity of care

Poorer care outcomes for patients

INCREASED health spending

Let's make sure patient medical homes don't close and
physician survive.🥰

#AbLeg 1. Government cuts 03.04J Care Planning - response:
- complex patients without plans should be seen weekly.

2. Government cuts in-facility billing - response:
- let's stop in-facility work - obstretrics, ER consults, etc.

On the surface this looks like a great idea.

Here is why physicians are angry:

👉 Could force hundreds of family medicine clinics to close during this pandemic

👉 Disrupts the “patient medical home”

👉 Will result in increased healthcare cost to taxpayers

Thread below 👇 Physicians are currently paid more to see patients in person than over the phone/virtual/using an app. In fact, the payment for phone calls/virtual health is so low, that you can’t pay for office expenses on that income.
