0 Recommendation(s) About 800 people rallied on Saturday at the Alberta Legislature, protesting what they think is a move towards private health care.

The event was organized by Friends of Medicare. Executive Director Dr. David Eggen tells 660News he doesn't think Albertans were happy with the way MLA Raj Sherman was treated during the fall session.

He says it's important that the public keep governments in check and make sure they are representing the beliefs of Albertans, and not just pushing forward on private health care.

In a statement, Alberta Health and Wellness Minister Gene Zwozdesky said he welcomes an open, honest discussion about improving publicly funded health care.
