Alberta’s privatized surgery clinics aren't reducing wait times
UCP promises unmet, NDP health critic says private clinics aren’t helping.
They weren't supposed to do anything for wait times, they were supposed to break the public system while making rich people even richer.
In that way, they're a success.
What we really need is for most Canadians to get that privatization and free market solve a lot fewer problems efficiently than advertised. This delusion is causing us so much real, material loss and I can't see how we can stop it without people coming out of it. Of course it's a profitable delusion so wealthy interests will keep promoting this narrative so I have no confidence at all that this will change for the better.
Surprising no one.
I actually thought they'd do an obligatory year or few months or whatever of pretending they can do better first so they can do the classic enshittification process later. I guess they've got the public trained so well they don't even feel that's necessary, yikes.
