Liberals push Medicare Protection Amendment Act in BC
The bill bans most direct patient billing for medically necessary care and targets the common practice of friends paying for services. It empowers enforcement with penalties up to 20 000 per violation, drawing fierce opposition from the BC Medical Association and the private Cambie Surgery Centre. The NDP faced criticism for inaction on health care gaps while private clinics warn of possible closures amid new rules.
