It’s devastating. Heartbreaking, really.
In Alberta, voters narrowly backed questions that could make temporary residents, like international students and temporary foreign workers, pay a fee to use public health care and schools. Then, this weekend, British Columbians elected a Conservative majority government that wants to hand more of the province’s public health care to private companies.
If this can happen in two provinces in one week, it can happen anywhere in the country.
Ottawa funds health care through federal health transfers and sets the national standards through the Canada Health Act, so the federal Minister of Health is the person who can act for the whole country.
No sick child, no worried parent and no patient should be turned away in a country with universal health care. Write to the Minister today and tell her Canadians expect public health care to be there for everyone.
