Dear Paov --
It’s a clear turn away from the “don’t ask, don’t tell” approach to unlawful private billing practices at private clinics in BC.
Yesterday, Health Minister Adrian Dix announced that the BC government will bring into full force the Medicare Protection Amendment Act—a law that was passed 15 years ago—in order to strengthen the province’s powers to stop unlawful private fees and to protect patients. [1]
This is very good news.
The province’s plan to clean up unlawful private billing, combined with the Surgical and Diagnostic Imaging Strategy to drive down wait times in the public system, will mean patients will get faster access to care without facing steep private fees. [2] [3]

Paov —
We can do amazing things when we act together.
Just last week, the province announced a historic strategy to dramatically reduce surgical wait times and modernize our surgical system - by acting on recommendations we have been making for years.
But the good news doesn’t stop there.
Today, Health Minister Adrian Dix announced another huge investment in our public system—this time in MRIs and diagnostics. This public investment means an additional 37,000 MRI exams across the province this year so that British Columbians can get timely scans—and ultimately timely health care. [1]
For too long B.C. has allowed public MRI waits to grow while allowing a market for private MRI clinics to flourish. When faced...

Dear Paov --
Your work to get action on long surgical wait times just paid off in a big way!
We just
got back from an event with the Premier and Health Minister at
Vancouver General Hospital and we’re excited to share with you
the details of the province’s new strategy to tackle surgical wait
times.
The strategy announced today will mean that thousands of people in B.C. will get the surgery they need faster. The plan implements many of the BCHC’s recommendations to modernize our surgical system. [1]
At the announcement, the health minister acknowledged you - BC Health Coalition members - for your tireless work championing innovative solutions...

Supa vs Big Pharma

Last week the Liberals announced that Canada will finally get a pharmacare plan, so we won’t have to choose between feeding our families or buying the medicine we need to stay healthy. But now Big Pharma, made up of giants like Pfizer and Merck, is trying use this as an opportunity to get a plan that prioritizes their profits over one that benefits all of us. [1]
And they are acting fast. Less than a day after the budget dropped, Finance Minister Morneau walked back on pharmacare promises, talking instead about a patchwork plan that will leave people out. [2]
This is dangerous - and nurses and health care experts are already raising the alarm. [3] But if we want to stop Big Pharma from sabotaging universal pharmacare, it will take thousands of us showing our support for a program that benefits everyday people, not corporations.
Will you sign the letter to Dr. Eric Hoskins, head of the national advisory council on pharmacare, in support of a universal pharmacare program that Canadians urgently need?
On Monday we asked if we should campaign for universal pharmacare, and an incredible 17,367 of you said YES! Now we need to make sure our voices carry all the way to Parliament. [4]
