  • A man has died after waiting eight hours in a Winnipeg emergency room after being triaged as a low-priority patient. Last month, a woman lost her leg after waiting days in an emergency room. These are not simply tragic stories.

The article from MSN discusses the ongoing issues within Alberta's health care system, focusing on the political and administrative challenges rather than direct solutions.

The piece critiques the political handling of health care by Alberta's leaders, including Premier Danielle Smith, who has been accused of prioritizing political spin over effective policy-making.

The article calls for a focus on practical solutions rather than engaging in political battles or ego-driven decisions, emphasizing the need for genuine leadership and accountability to improve the health care system for Albertans.
