GOOD NEWS - MSP coverage expanded to all uninsured people for COVID-19 testing and treatment!

Paov --
This crisis has made clear that barriers to health care only increase risk. BC is moving in the right direction by starting to expand health coverage to those who were previously uninsured.

This is an important step towards ensuring equitable access to Universal Public Health Care while also helping to safeguard all of our health.

Paov --
This past week has been unlike anything we have ever experienced.
Like so many of you, we spent the past week checking on our neighbours, sorting out working-from-home arrangements, providing essential services, and trying to make sense of the daily news updates. We hope you are well and staying safe.
We are all in awe of the people on the front lines working to keep us all safe and healthy. These public healthcare heroes - healthcare workers and support support staff in the hospitals, community and social services workers, lab technicians, pharmacists and first responders - are saving lives every day and deserve a huge thank you from all of us.
You can say a big thank you
to our health care workers - first by staying home - but also
by cheering them on each evening at 7pm. Applause for Health Care Workers
started in Europe and has now spread across Canada. In BC, the
residents in Vancouver’s West End led the applause, and it is...
