Well here we are exactly one year into this petition! Thank you for continuing to support this very important issue. I read in the news today (http://bcndpcaucus.ca/news/christy-clarks-msp-shell-game-will-deliver-unhappy-new-years-surprise-british-columbians/)that beginning January 1, couples without children at home will have their MSP rates increased by $168 per year. These MSP rate changes will rake IN AN EXTRA $46 MILLION!! The government agrees that the system is broken, but continues to use these premiums to balance their budget! We must remind them that flat-rate MSP Premiums are unfair and does not address income inequality and does not ensure a sustainable health care system. Please Share, Share, Share and get the word out that we want to be treated like every other Canadian! Which at the very least should have progressive taxation policies on every "Tax" Wishing you a happy and healthy winter! Together we can make a difference, don't forget to vote in the spring! Here are some links to help spread the word!! 1) Share this petition with 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!!
