You’ve probably heard the term “privatization” in health care or “for-profit care” thrown around.
Here’s the truth: it’s affecting every single Albertan. And it’s time we start paying attention.
Let’s break it down with a simple story…
Imagine this: You pay for a public park every year – funded by your taxes – so that it’s safe, clean, and accessible for everyone. You trust that your money is going to maintain the park for your family to enjoy, your kids to play, and everyone to benefit.
But over time, the government slyly hands your park to private for-profit companies. They take the money you’ve paid and use it to line their pockets. The park – your park – starts to fall apart. Playgrounds get neglected. Paths crumble. The space you used to enjoy is taken over by profit-driven businesses.
This is how for-profit health care works – it puts profits first and people last.
Don’t let this happen to your health care. Want to learn more about what’s at stake and how it impacts you?
