The Alberta health minister says he is not pursuing user-pay changes to the publicly funded system, but the NDP says Smith needs to be clear on that.

To that end, Copping says his department has reached an agreement with the Alberta Medical Association to remove the payment cap on 50 visits a day for family physicians in order to help doctors and provide more access to care.

He made the comments after the Opposition NDP said Smith must explain whether she will pursue sweeping health policy changes she proposed last year while in the private sector.

The NDP needs to shut up after all the damage they have done to this province

Here’s a tip - DS has been perfectly clear. Check out her policy paper last year, her leadership bid comments….. As a “journalism” organization, perhaps you can do the research I have already done. DS has said the quiet part out loud multiple times. DanielleSmithIsUnfitToLead

Smith changes her mind like the weather here in Calgary. She needs to come out and say she no longer supports her own policy paper and was wrong in repeating the same position in the more recent video. I'm guessing she won't do that though...will she?!

Actually sounds like a good idea

How come every picture of nutley looks like she crapped her pants

Why is the Alberta NDP doing YOUR job?🤔🤌🤌🤌 CdnMediaFailed

Well Alberta’s Health Minister works for a dictator. A dictator who bought a consultant to ‘execute’ on fixing AHS. What, exactly, is the job of a MOH at this moment? I’m real curious. Passive observer of the $hite going down is my best guess. ableg abpoli

All Rachel is here for is to b**ch and complain. She never offers up a legitimate solution to anything.

Keep reporting stuff like this knowing full well you’re spinning the story into a different direction than it actually is and I’m done with you.

It’s been repeated numerous times! Ndp want clarity to counter the daily lies Rachel and her NDP keep spewing?

MerlinofCanada An idea, a thought, a concept floated for discussion, can be repudiated in favour of a better policy. But, an ideology espoused for years does not fade away into the sunset! There is nothing believable about Smith disavowing anything she’s said so enthusiastically, for years!

Why does anyone who actually listens to her understand it? She has explained it clearly multiple time. Nightmare Notley knows covid fear mongering is over, so she's moved onto healthcare fear mongering. Maybe have the media inform the public about the facts?

MerlinofCanada Smith should be hooked up to a lie detector machine! But then I guess sociopaths would easily pass😡

Average individuals from not a single country have benefited from Private healthcare. It will be like a small opening leading towards major lobbying of changes. Only individuals who profiteer are pharmaceutical companies & executives along with Doctors Selling more medicines

Smith’s been spouting the same rhetoric for years on her radio show. Hard to believe she has public healthcare for all Albertans in mind.

Notley, you are truly an embarrassment. No better than the federal NDP.

That’s is pretty clear for me. NDP a bunch f whiny babies.

Notley making up shit again
