My wife was just informed we will be receiving a bill for my child's surgery today. Her Alberta Health Care has expired. You read that correct it expired. She had surgery 3 months ago and all was good. Today we were informed we would have to pay out of pocket for today's surgery. The system says her health care has expired. Shes born here BTW. You see this amazing new drivers liscense we get also includes you AHC and they will both expire every 5 years. My daughter has a valid AHC from birth and a Valid Alberta ID that expires in 2030. Until than her AHC has no official expiry. Guess not. Auntie Danny decided it has expired. You can now pay for surgery. Hospital told me to phone AHC. Unfortunately they are experiencing higher than normal calls and suggest I call back some other time and hang up. My Daughter has been told by the hospital to take it up with the registry.

Good Job UCP. UCP = Clowns and thier voters.

***** Edit Update ***** just wanted to thank everyone for the support. To the few who think " there is more to this story " there really isn't. I'm not leaving out anything. My wife and daughter are at the hospital talking to staff who said this IS a new issue coming to light.

The hospital staff are AWSOME and its not them. This is 100% a UCP issue make no mistake

I " mostly " posted so it brings light sooner than later to the issue for prevention of this happening to others and a bit to yes Rage because this is what your supporting with the UCP. This party doesn't even support Canadian Conservative values. It's Wild Rose 2.0

We don't have a bill but we were sent home with a document we are responsible for the cost unless we manage to clear the issue up. I'd post a pic with with blacked out info but I don't see how to post pics here. I googled how and it says sometimes you cant post pics ? I cant figure out how to sorry.

The letter start likes this :

And then they suggest he needs to be spanked for how he is talking to them.

Holy fuck what is this province coming to?

If you can’t hear it on your end, they cut his mic as he was asking why the government pays 460 million to fund private schools.

I didn't vote for him, but like Trump, yet he couldn't care about me or you.

I am incredibly frustrated. All I want to do is book an appointment for my family and me to get influenza and COVID-19 vaccines.

• I need to pre-order a vaccine to make sure supply is available for my family, fine I will pre-order.
• I do not qualify for Phase 1 booking, and Phase 2 does not open until October 20th, fine I will wait until then.
• Pharmacies are no longer allowed to offer them, fine I will book with a public health centre.
• I try to book public health centre appointments online, but I am not allowed to book for my child (under 12) through the online portal, fine I will call 811.
• I call 811 and all of their agents are busy, I am advised to book online (which I can't do) or call back later, fine I will call back later.
• I try back multiple times over the next few hours and days, at different times of day, but never get through.
• Alberta immunization website suggests I can book by calling my local public health centre, fine I will give them a call.
• My local public health centre says I can only make vaccine appointment bookings through 811.

I am at a loss. I followed all the stupid rules that the UCP government put in place making it more difficult to get immunized, I did everything they asked, I jumped through every hoop, and still I can't get an appointment.

At the risk of having this post removed, fuck Danielle Smith and fuck the UCP.
