Budget fails to come clean on cuts to health care services says HSA
British Columbia families will bear the brunt of the provincial governments failure to adequately fund health care, Health Sciences Association of BC president Reid Johnson said in response to the provincial governments budget introduced today.
-This budget means that British Columbians, who rely on our health care system, will pay more for less." Johnson said.
The government will introduce additional costs to individuals and families by increasing MSP premiums by six per cent starting Jan. 1, 2010 ... and beyond, as the budget promises annual increases to the premiums.
