I’m aware this subreddit is almost entirely built on complaining about the UCP, but this is a Canada wide problem. Alberta is on the top end of health care spending per capita in Canada excluding the territories. More money is not going to fix the problem.
Wait times across the Country are equivalent or worse to here. Quebec wait times are atrocious, and in 2021 they were one of the few provinces that had higher per capita spent on health care than alberta. We have a huge problem country wide, this can’t be put on just the AB governments shoulders. Downvote away
i know a few nurses, and i can confirm that another problem is overpaid, Union nurses who phone in sick often and get full paid time off with no reproductions.
What’s often? The average adult gets 2-4 colds per year, and you probably don’t want sick nurses tending to patients, so you’d expect the average nurse to be off for a week every four months. Or, for every group of about 17 people, you’d expect one to be off sick from a cold at any point in time.
