Liberal leadership candidate Hugh MacDonald said the government claimed the revenue from the increased fees would go toward improving services for seniors in long-term care, but that didn’t happen.
“It’s certainly a reflection of how poorly our health-care system is managed and how poorly policies are thought out,” he said. “They have forced seniors to pay hundreds of millions of dollars and they never stopped to think whether they had the authority to collect it or not.”
MacDonald said the number of lawsuits against Alberta Health is an indication a lot of people aren’t satisfied with how the system is run and they’re going to court for justice.
“When you have all these cases filed in court, that’s not an indication of public confidence,” he said.
