Paov --
The controversial legal challenge
which put public health care on trial was unexpectedly postponed in
December but finally comes to a
close this week.
Today, constitutional
lawyer, Joe Arvay, argues on behalf of the coalition intervenor
group.
Show your support on social media by
checking in at the Vancouver Law Courts on facebook. Click here for instructions.
The intervenor
group includes two patients, two doctors, Canadian Doctors for
Medicare, and the BC Health Coalition. The patients in the intervenor
group -- one living with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy and another
with AIDS -- represent those who stand to lose the most in this case.
They are economically vulnerable people who rely on a high quality
public health... care system to provide life-sustaining care.
In addition, the physician members
of the intervenor group are concerned that if the lawsuit successfully
overturns the principle of Canadian health care - that care be based
on need, not ability to pay - their patients’ health will
suffer.
Joe Arvay is a well known constitutional lawyer who argued both
the Carter and Bedford cases.
