Waking up this morning to a lot of really bad takes on two-tier healthcare systems and I want to take back my summer. This is not about polarization or hyperbole. All the best inquiry by the best experts indicate it will do more harm than good. Won't lead to savings either.

But what annoys me the most is that some people would have 19 or so votes from a political party rally over Zoom decide the future of healthcare in Alberta. And that some don't care that if the government acts on it, that's a total bait and switch.

For those calling for a conversation, please show me examples of when this government ever wanted to talk. Some of us have been writing about this issue for months. We have presented to those willing to listen. Govt's response has been to unleash attacks through issues managers.

Unless the sky falls on my head, I'd probably be fine in a two-tier system. But many won't. Before you offer a take on Twitter, think of your privilege. You cannot shift a system from need-based to ability to pay and expect results that are equitable.

And before you point to comparator countries with two-tier sysytems, read about them. Any success they have is not due to two-tier and cannot be replicated here without other fixes that are not on the table here.
