A column written by @shandro during his time at the U of C was recently unearthed that shows a young Tyler Shandro arguing against for-profit American-style health care. #ableg #abhealth
In the column, @shandro writes that "no peer-reviewed study has found that for-profit hospitals are less expensive than non-profit ones. In fact, publicly-funded health care costs less." #ableg #abhealth
This is still true today. A recent study showed the U.S. health system costs four times more to run than Canada’s due to higher administrative costs. #ableg #abhealth https://www.latimes.com/science/story/2020-01-07/u-s-health-system-costs-four-times-more-than-canadas-single-payer-system">https://www.latimes.com/science/s...
Even @shandro points out the additional administrative costs that come with private for-profit health care. He writes that their "inefficiency will cause more stress on the publicly-funded health care. That means longer waiting lists not just for them, but across the board."
. @shandro continues, "Health care will be more expensive for everyone supplying it."
I couldn& #39;t agree more. And yet, @jkenney and the UCP continue to dismantle our public health care system and push our province towards for-profit American-style health care. #ableg #abhealth

He concludes "But we& #39;re told there& #39;s a crisis. They say public health care isn& #39;t working. Wait, let me see if I have this right - they blow up a hospital and then tell us there& #39;s a crisis?"
Sound familiar? This is the exact same tactic being used by the UCP. #ableg #abhealth
