March 16: Day of Action for Public Health Care
Alberta's two-tier health care law allows doctors to charge patients out-of-pocket for care covered by the public health care system. Today, Canadians across the country are sending a message to their MP and Health Minister Marjorie Michel demanding the federal government enforce the Canada Health Act. Enter your name, email address, and postal code below, review the pre-written message and personalize it if you wish, then hit send.
More than 20 organizations across Canada, including the Canadian Health Coalition, have issued an open letter on Alberta’s Health Statutes Amendment Act, 2025 (No. 2). The statement, sent to Prime Minister Mark Carney and Health Minister Marjorie Michel, warns that the law enables a two-tier health care system, undermines the principles of Medicare, and sets a dangerous precedent for other provinces. Read it now to understand the consequences and why urgent federal enforcement of the Canada Health Act is needed.
