BC Health Coalition

 The BC Health Coalition champions the protection and expansion of a universal public health care system. We believe:

 

1. Health care is a right - everyone must have the right to high quality, responsive and appropriate health care which is publicly funded, publicly accountable and publicly controlled.

 

2. Access to health care must be equitable - regardless of an individual's income, level of ability, age, cultural heritage, sex, sexual orientation or geographical location.

 

3. Issues that are basic to good health must be addressed - food, education, income, housing, social support and personal safety determine an individual's ability to achieve and maintain good health.
