With less than one month until the Alberta election, party platforms will use the 2023 provincial budget as a starting point, further risking the spread of generational tensions.
Since our government programs do not focus on prevention, healthy eating, a sustainable population or getting exercise, by the time we are seniors our health problems and health costs are out of control. As a senior myself, I am so disappointed with the way our government promotes a meat and dairy diet, rather than a plant based diet, and spends so little funding on exercise programs. Naturally, this failure results in increased health problems as well as a reduced quality of life. Let's tell the government to stop subsidizing the meat and dairy industry, reduce our population density stress, and start promoting an active lifestyle.
Most people over 65 have more pressing needs than the under 45....they also may not be working so have no access to funds...They also have more chance of illness..
my understanding of your complaint is that people over 65 do not deserve that care, even if they have no financial access to it on their own..It appears you would like people over 65 to go find jobs and pay their own way.
most people under 45 have employment...
many over 65 do not...and do not always have access to large pensions either..
I am 74 and rely on my pension..which barely covers my needs...I also have rheumatoid arthritis which makes my medical needs greater..
I feel as if you would rather toss me, and those like me, aside in order to benefit those under 45..
