We the people of British Columbia deserve to be treated like every other Canadian. -----That includes the right to progressive and fair taxation! The MSP Premiums is indeed a tax and should be treated as such. No other Canadian province has this regressive, inefficient "Tax" UNFORTUNATELY - This government ONLY responds to $$$$. Why do we continue to pay this punitive, regressive and inefficiently managed TAX? If the money stops , then the government must address this. Perhaps now is the time to hold off on the monthly payments until the election... I will leave that to individuals but together we can make a bold statement!! I urge all Canadians, whether you pay your own medical or not to stand up to regressive taxation policies! Here are some updated links regarding this cash grab!
