EDMONTON — Alberta’s New Democrats say they’ve been told there’s too much secrecy in health-care planning and proposals to reform the system should be made public.
The NDP held seven public meetings last fall to find out what Albertans think about their health care.
As a result, the NDP, which has two elected members, says drug costs for seniors should be capped at $25 a month.
The party also wants more long-term care centres built, but fewer assisted-living beds.
Better access to abortion services is also on the NDP wish list.
Health Minister Gene Zwozdesky says he wants a broad discussion on health care and no one’s views will be stifled.
