British Columbia stands alone -- the only Canadian province to charge head-tax-like premiums for health care coverage. February 16 is coming up fast and we need to send a clear and concrete message to the BC Liberals ~ Abolish MSP Premiums in BC (http://bit.ly/no-msp) Everyday we are getting more signatures ~ Thank you BC! We are supported at the provincial level with Andrew Weaver and federally with Gord Johns. Both these politicians understand how unfair and regressive this tax is and want to support us , but they need our voices and signatures to send a clear message to the current BC government! A few short months ago the BC Liberals did not want to have this conversation. Today they have started...but it is not enough, we cannot wait until 2017 for half measures! We must tell Christy we don't want another form to fill out to get her latest offer. We need this cash grab to stop! There are ways to balance a budget and pay for health care without taking from seniors, low-mid income families and small business owners! Here is a table that shows just how this arbitrary and hurtful this is to BC families (http://bit.ly/because-its-2016) The House of Commons 2015 Throne speech promised to "reduce red tape for real people" MSP Premiums contradicts this mandate and is riddled with red tape! The Canada Health Act also states that "all administration of provincial health insurance must be carried out by a public authority on a non-profit basis" Here is a poster you can put up in you local communities bulletin boards so we can get the word out to everyone! (http://bit.ly/msp-poster) Please feel free to send a message directly to the Premier via the BC Health Coalition http://www.bchealthcoalition.ca/what-you-can-do/scrap-msp-premiums
