(https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/british-columbia/bc-highlights-cost-of-illegal-billing-by-physicians-in-effort-to-curb-practice/article35304889/) "B.C. is the only province the federal government has fined every year of the past five – approximately $1-million in total – for allowing extra-billing in violation of the Canada Health Act." Are you surprised in the Wild West of Canadian politics? - "the governing Liberals have largely turned a blind eye to extra billing." "B.C. doctors have been forced to repay more than $21-million in fees over the past five years based on public complaints about inappropriate billing to the province’s medical-services plan." "The Ministry of Health provided the figures to underscore its efforts to rein in illegal billing by physicians... found the practice is most prevalent in British Columbia, – the largest number of any province – ..." When we brought the question of MSP premiums to the Federal level, their answer to us was - don't worry your government (BC Liberals) is taking care of it and going to abolish the premiums anyways.... ... and this is from the same government that has been fined every year for the last 5 years for violation of the Canada Health Act. Abolish MSP Premiums in BC! Thank you for continuing to support this petition!
