Demand your provincial governments sign onto the national pharmacare plan!
The provinces/territories that have intentionally refused to use the taxpayer money set aside for your healthcare.
So is BC the only normal province left in Cana where people ACTUALLY care about each other without telling everyone that they care so much about their communities that they dont want theeeeiirrr tax dollars to go to said communities?
Look at housing prices and zoning laws in BC, its one of the most regressive provinces for the poor. Alberta meanwhile rezoned everything for 8 plex, and their healthcare is currently better than BC.
Though to be fair to Eby he did rezone along transit, and he did complain loudly about the mass immigration of low skilled labor that is burdening the health care system and infrastructure. No province could deal with this and it is a country wide shortage of everything, and was likely done for the same reason Trudeau Sr put in wage caps during the 70s inflation.
It's a provincial area. Elect a better government.
Their best to hand it over to private interests, obviously.
Edit: /s of course
you forgot your /s
Of course!
But that's the leaders' real actual plan though. They don't even hide it anymore.
Nationalize healthcare. Build a web of regulations that set regional funding on population metrics, prevent government interference, and lock in funding in ways that are impossible to politically interfere with. Use efficiencies of scale to trim the fat at the top even more.
Also make it illegal for any healthcare org to charge the consumer for any essential service, and make it illegal to discriminate where consumers come from. They can only triage based on medically-basedl rules.
The outdated provincial system won't let you. But also it safeguards it from being totally repealed.
They are the threat. They want profits and misery and denial of care. Litteral blood money. All the cons and ~ half the libs.
