Friends of Medicare is urging Albertans to write to the Health Minister and to come to the Legislature to hear the debate about the proposed Alberta Health Act.  

The Health Act is being debated this week. Friends of Medicare is organizing events to demonstrate opposition to the health Act.

7:30 pm Tuesday, Nov. 16, 2010
7:30 pm Wednesday, Nov. 17, 2010

At about 8:30 pm attendees are invited to meet at the 9th Street Bistro  for a debrief and coffee or drinks.

Friends of Medicare asks that all individuals interested in attending RSVP to fomcampaign@gmail.com or call 780-423-4581 so we may book appropriate room in the public gallery.


Alberta Health Act
Wrong Prescription

• The Act is a step toward removing the province’s Medicare laws that limit or prevent business medicine and private insurance.

• The Act does NOT set the principles for our health care, but gives the Minister the power proclaim them without public debate later.

• The Health Act does nothing to address the urgent issues Albertans face in getting needed services today.

ACTION
Call or email Health Minister Gene Zwozdesky (780.427.3665 or free 310.000, edmonton.millcreek@assembly.ab.ca) and tell him the Alberta Health Act is the wrong prescription for our health care system.
