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

Thank you again to BC for standing up for Progressive Policies not Regressive ones!!
