Today
National Day of Action for a New Health Accord
The current Health Accord expires March 31st, 2014 and the federal government is refusing to renegotiate it. Expiration of the accord will result in a $36 billion dollar cut to public health care, and an additional $16.5 billion dollar cut to health care equalization payments.
Today, people across the country are holding rallies to sound the alarm and let their MP's know that it is time to step forward and ensure that our health care system has a future. Here in BC, communities are holding rallies - see list below.
Thank you to all who are participating! If there is no event in your community you cans still participate by calling your MP, or send an email to the party leaders to tell them it is time to take action. For more information, you can go to the
Canadian Health Coalition website.
