Dear Paov --
The BC Health Coalition’s work to defend our public health care system from legal attack by Dr. Brian Day and private clinic Cambie Surgeries has seen a flurry of activity in recent weeks. Here is a recap of what we have been up to, both inside and outside the courtroom.
1. Health policy expert testifies in defence of public health care in Cambie case
Public health expert Dr. David Himmelstein, M.D. took the stand in the Cambie case to offer a comparative analysis of the US and Canadian health care systems. Dr. Himmelstein, the second expert witness brought by our intervenor group, is a well-respected health policy professor at City University of New York School of Public Health and lecturer in medicine at Harvard Medical School.

Paov --
It is time to complete the work
that Tommy Douglas started with Medicare. And, with the release of last week's report, A
Prescription for Canada: Achieving Pharmacare for All, Pharmacare
has become a ballot box issue.
If we fill the in-boxes of key Liberal
MPs in BC, we can pressure the government to adopt the recommendations
