What Nurses Are Saying
Nurses are on the front lines of care every day, supporting you and your loved ones in some of life’s biggest moments. So who better to speak to what’s really happening in our health system?

As part of Alberta Needs Care, we asked nurses to share one thing about the joys, challenges, and realities of their work, and with their permission, we’ll be sharing those voices with you each month.

Here’s what nurses had to say this month

Bill 11: The Privatization of Alberta Health Care

For generations, Albertans have lived by a simple promise: when you’re sick, you get care. Your income, your address, or your position in life doesn’t matter. That’s the Canadian way. That’s the Albertan way.

Bill 11 shatters that promise. It creates a shortcut for the wealthy, while everyone else waits.

It allows doctors to charge patients directly for medically necessary care while still working within the public system. That creates two lines for health care: one for those who can pay, and one for everyone else. The government calls it reform. It isn’t. It’s abandonment.

They promise shorter wait times; ask them to show you how.

Right now, doctors, nurses, and operating rooms are already stretched to their limits. Shifting these limited resources to serve patients who can pay doesn’t create new capacity. It prioritizes those who can afford to jump ahead. That means the rest of us face longer waits for care that should be available to everyone.

Costs don’t go down - they get hidden and shifted.

Private clinics charge more, and profits go to shareholders, not hospitals. Meanwhile, you still pay taxes to support the public system that loses staff and resources to private services. If you or your loved ones choose, or need, to use private care, you may end up paying twice: once through your taxes and again out of pocket. And if you can’t afford private care, you’re still funding a system that now favours those who can.

Albertans did not vote for this.
We were promised stronger public health care, not an American-style system where illness becomes a business and profit comes first.

Bill 11 tells Albertans: if you have money, you’re fine. If you don’t, you’ll wait or go without.

Health care should be a right. Bill 11 makes it a luxury.
It puts a price tag on care, and once that happens, there is no going back.

Visit Friends of Medicare to see how Bill 11 will impact you.
