We need better healthcare coverage in BC! I’m barely working right now and I just had to spend $185 for 3 months of medication that I need to survive and that’s not the only medication I take. That’s minimal compared to what some people pay and yet it’s still a huge burden.
To put that into perspective. I just spent more than what I’ll make this week on what amounts to about 1 month of my total medication costs.
Coverage for medication isn’t a handout, it’s good economics. Preventative actions are almost always less expensive and better for people than waiting for a disaster to occur before treating the issue.
As part of improving healthcare, we also need to find dental care. This is an I@portent aspect of overall health that has been neglected for far too long.
Lack of coverage for all aspects of healthcare disproportionately affects lower-income people. This is a matter of equity and it’s inhumane to make people choose between their health, food and shelter.
