M Cbritish columbia, Canada
Jun 25, 2016
British Columbia stands alone -- the only Canadian province to charge head-tax-like premiums for health care coverage. It seems clear that B.C. should follow the lead of other provinces in eliminating its flat-rate MSP premiums! The government agrees "It’s antiquated, it’s old, and the way people pay for it generally doesn’t make a whole ton of sense.” ...Yet the government continues to allow this regressive taxation policy to stand with an increase of $77 million in revenue! Here's what you can do to help spread the word! 1) Share this petition on all your social media http://bit.ly/no-msp 2) Put up this poster on your local community bulletin boards http://bit.ly/msp-poster 3) Write to Christy Clark premier@gov.bc.ca letting her know that you want MSP Premiums abolished in BC! 4) Tell our Minister of Health, Terry Lake Hlth.Minister@gov.bc.ca. that we want progressive taxation policies applied to this broken system. 5) Send a message directly to the Premier via the BC Health Coalition http://www.bchealthcoalition.ca/what-you-can-do/scrap-msp-premiums Thank you again to BC for standing up for Progressive Policies not Regressive ones!!
