We can't wait to have you join the health  coalition

We continue to join other public health advocates, health coalitions, unions, and members each year to support universal healthcare. With healthcare privatization on the rise in Saskatchewan and across Canada, more people are experiencing challenges accessing affordable healthcare due to the  private-for-profit services agreements  implemented in our healthcare system.  Since the 1990 's Saskatchewan government has aggressively supported a private-for-profit model agreement. The need for universal, publicly funded and administered healthcare has never been more urgent. . More than half of Canadians report feeling “threatened” by health care costs. 

Privatization Means

  • Increased surgical wait times

  • Increased cost and reduction in quality services

  • No accountability

  • Profit-making becomes the sole priority for private companies.

  • Join the Coalition Today to fight for publicly funded and administered healthcare.
