BC Medicare Cuts Endanger Health Care Quality
A BC coalition warns that scheduled transfer payment cuts could destroy health care quality with a $375 million three year reduction, bed closures of 1500 to 3750, and 1800 to 1900 nursing positions. The group argues deficits stem from recessions and corporate tax breaks, urging action to protect Medicare and oppose two tier reforms.
