Christy Clark, Justin Trudeau: Abolish MSP premiums in BC
M Coulter Ucluelet, British Columbia

British Columbia stands alone -- the only Canadian province to charge head-tax-like premiums for health care coverage.
It seems clear that B.C. should follow the lead of other provinces in eliminating its flat-rate MSP premiums!
Since MSP premiums are a form of tax, they should be assessed by the standard criteria for taxation policy.
Given that 90 per cent of public health care costs already come from general revenues, B.C. has ample precedent for replacing its head tax with broader sources, and not becoming a Canadian outlier.
It is time for British Columbia to follow the rest of the country and Abolish the MSP Premiums!!
Here is a poster that you can download and get onto the community bulletin boards in your area . Please keep sharing this important petition, Thank you!
