Sign up.... for Campbell's "Conversation on Health"
It's important that the Premier's "Conversation on Health" results in better public health care for British Columbians, not patient user fees and more private, for-profit care. So it's critical that BCNU members get involved in the Conversation through the on-line chat rooms, meetings with MLAs and regional forums.
The regional forums will be the centerpiece of the "Conversation" – to be held in 16 communities with 100 people each. If more than 100 people sign up to attend, the government will choose them at random.

Campbell uses faulty numbers to launch health care "conversation".
Experts reveal statistics purporting to show "unsustainable" health care spending are misleading, phony:
User fees and private for-profit care are no cures
Previous health care conversation concluded user fees and private for-profit care are no cures.
"Sustainability" - a code word for cutbacks and users pay
The Premier says his "Conversation on Health" will lead to new legislation adding the principle of "sustainability" to the Canada Health Act. "Sustainability" may be a code word for government cutbacks and users pay.
