President's Letter
Dear Members:
Today government has tabled legislation to repeal Section 40.2 of the Alberta Health Care Insurance Act. This regulation enabled termination of the AMA agreement and its repeal was a commitment by government under the new agreement. Here is the news release.
We will meet our corresponding commitment to withdraw the AMA lawsuit as soon as Bill 4 has passed through the Legislative Assembly and has been formally proclaimed into law. That date is currently unknown.
You are always welcome to share your thoughts with me. You can email me via president@albertadoctors.org. You can also comment on this letter on the AMA website.
Regards,
fred Rinaldi, MD, CCFP, FCFP, LLB, MBA, MPA(HSA), BCom
President, Alberta Medical Association
