Health Care System in Alberta

When I had my babies in the 1980's the health care system was great,the hospital and nurses were excellent. With my son I stayed in the hospital for 5 days. In those days they would not let you and baby go home til all was right with both mother and child. Now-a-days they send you home the next day, whether you are ready or not. Why has it changed? Some people in the government have really screwed things up concerning the whole system, especially concerning hospital stays, wait times in emergency, and the process of getting any kind of surgery procedure done. My mother for instance had to have her knees scraped a few years back, but by the time she got to her appointment her knees were so bad she ended up having to have knee replacement surgery instead,so much for wait times.I wonder if this happens to the politicians and the Doctors mothers too!Do they get put at the front of the line? I'm thinking yes, they probably do.I'm wondering why more people are not complaing about our health care system. Why are we letting these people make important descions that concern our most prescious commodity(our bodies) and not saying anything when they obviously are srewing things up? Let's make some noise people and get some well deserved changes made for all concerned, after all the government and the Doctors are working for us, are they not.If people in other lines of work do a poor job they get fired don't they.Bottom line, let's get pro active out there people.!!!
