The UCP are “threatening” to release physician compensation figures. Well, the AMA has already made public a lot more than that, including figures on average overhead and salaries to staff paid from those figures. BUT maybe the UCP doesn’t understand that you can ALREADY look 1/x
up the information. It’s already public! Here.

Remember, as Mr Shandro already said, these numbers don’t reflect the salaries paid out to staff, rent and overhead and utilities, professional fees, and any benefits/pension plans the doctor chooses to have. Just details I guess. #AbLeg 3/x
So, when Mr Shandro tries to threaten (?) the release of doctors “salaries” (they’re not salaries, generally), ask yourself why. Here, I’ll post it again. #AbLeg 4/x

Meanwhile, Alberta doctors pay some of the highest rates in the country to run businesses, hire staff, and so on. The big tax cuts from the UCP don’t apply to us: we’re small businesses.
Just know that when the UCP claims that doctors won’t leave because they make $, #AbLeg 5/x

that is not what the problem is. AB doctors offered huge cuts before being cut out of negotiations.
We are upset because the system is being corporately privatized, our self-regulation is being threatened, and our contract seems to change twice weekly via a Shandro.. #AbLeg 6/x

..twitter storm. It’s tiring, and a lot of us have had enough. Let us focus on providing healthcare during a pandemic, please, or we’ll find somewhere else that will.
