"Ultimately, you're just getting the same care for a higher cost with less oversight because it's happening in a private facility."

I think it’s fine to tax higher earners more because after a certain point you just end up buying stupid things.
Look how many yellow jackets I have. That could have gone to health care.

Medical associations from coast to coast are deeply concerned about any government proposal that would restrict access to evidence-based medical care for patients, including for the transgender population. #CDNhealth #CDNpoli

Medical practices are a safe place for children, youth and families to explore options around gender- affirming treatments.
Children and youth have the right to the appropriate medical care, at the appropriate time, and this should not be denied to them.
Devon Mitchell retweeted
"Gender-affirming medical care for #youth should be a decision between the patient, their parents, and their medical care team, without intrusion by government."

if you own a $2m home, a “punishing” 9% property tax increase would be $485/year.
if you rent an average 1-bedroom for $2,800, the 2% allowable rent for 2023 increase is $672/year.
As Vancouver seeks to avoid years of punishing property tax increases, councillors are now looking at fee hikes for everything from parking permits to business licences to the cost of owning a pet.

Today, @SCC_eng dismissed the appeal in the Cambie case. While this legal attack on our publicly-funded health care system is finally over, the work to strengthen & improve our health care system is far from done. Let's continue to work for #BetterMedicare

For-profit surgical clinics won’t save our health system.
What will?
✔️Funding our public system well
✔️Maximize current OR efficiency
✔️Centralized referrals
✔️Multidisciplinary teams
(And more - see @CdnDrs4Medicare)
Thanks @CTV_PowerPlay !

With nearly a million British Columbians without a family doctor, the last thing we need is to put access to primary care behind a substantial fee. Great to see this decision from BC. #bchealth #cdnhealth
