Shepherd rebukes UCP broken promises to fix healthcare

NDP health critic David Shepherd said Monday it has been more than 100 days since Smith promised to fix health care within 90 days. Smith made the comments in a speech to the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce in October, noting it was going to “be a bit bumpy.”
Shepherd said the UCP has left the health-care system in chaos, leaving Albertans without access to a family doctor, ambulances lining up at hospitals, surgery delays, and exhausted frontline health-care workers.
