Braid: All-consuming referendum noise masks move to patient-pay health care - Yahoo News Canada
The drumbeat of referendum publicity has swept many problems under the rug in this province. We're in the midst of profound and dubious changes to services that Albertans depend upon. In normal times, these would be top of mind. But the Oct. 19 vote, and the blizzard of news around it, doesn't leave much breathing room. Radical upheaval is bubbling, especially in health care. The key points are:• Health insurance changes that threaten higher costs for medications;• A private surgery system that will bleed doctors from the public system;• Explosive and controversial expansion of private surgery clinics;• Radical restructuring of AISH. Much of this came into full effect Sept. 1 with the implementation of Bill 11.

Researchers found high levels of acceptability among women participating in a community-based HPV self-sampling intervention, with significant improvements in perceived comfort, confidence, and trust following the experience. The findings suggest that culturally adapted screening approaches delivered through trusted community organisations could help address persistent inequalities in cervical cancer prevention.
