The CMA spent a year studying public and private health models and consulting with more than 10,000 Canadians on the balance between the two. The evidence is clear: where a parallel private health system operates, both health outcomes and access to care are worse.

Doctors across Canada are deeply concerned that the #Alberta government’s proposed private care plan will leave more Albertans waiting even longer to access health care. The CMA is calling on the government to reconsider this proposal, and focus on known solutions to support public health care.

Profound health inequities persist in Canada. We need to work together in humility to build a health system that upholds Indigenous rights with the goal of eliminating these inequities. I encourage you to spend some time observing #NDTR reflecting on your own reconciliation journey in the year ahead
Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a day to acknowledge the devastating and lasting impacts of Canada’s residential school system on First Nations, Métis and Inuit Peoples. We also honour the strength and spirit of Survivors, their families and their communities.

What’s the Canadian take on #Tylenol and #pregnancy? Don’t stress. Heath Canada’s approval process for meds keeps us safe. There’s no credible evidence linking prenatal #acetaminophen use to #autism.
Still feeling uneasy? Best to talk to your #doctor or head to a walk-in clinic.

The love of reading is an endangered species.
Just 16% of Americans do regular leisure reading—down from 28% in 2003. Only 41% of UK parents read daily to their toddlers—down from 64% in 2012.
Books aren't merely a source of flow. They're a gateway to empathy and lifelong learning.
