TAKE ACTION: H1N1 VACCINE & PRIVATE CLINICS
TAKE ACTION: H1N1 VACCINE & PRIVATE CLINICS
November 5, 2009
Dear friend,
As Canadian families stand in long lines for flu shots, or wait anxiously for access to a dwindling supply of vaccine, private for-profit health clinics are making the flu vaccine available to their high-income patients who are able to pay thousands of dollars a year for privileged access.
There have even been reports of private clinics selling the vaccine.
For many months, the Canadian Health Coalition has been asking the Prime Minister to take immediate action against these private clinics under the provisions of the Canada Health Act. Queue jumping is illegal – Canadian law prohibits the wealthy from buying their way to the front of the line for medically necessary services.
Now the situation is urgent. We need you to add your voice to the thousands of Canadians who want to protect our cherished Medicare.
Please let Prime Minister Harper know that Canadians expect him to uphold his legal duty and enforce the Canada Health Act. Take a moment right now and Email the Prime Minister - it will only take 2 minutes!
TAKE ACTION -- CLICK HERE TO EMAIL THE PRIME MINISTER

And be sure to follow-up your email with a telephone call. The Prime Minister’s phone number is: (613) 992-4211
Thanks for standing up for Medicare.
In solidarity,
-- The Canadian Health Coalition Team
AGISSEZ : VACCIN H1N1 ET CLINIQUES PRIVÉES
5 novembre 2009
Cher ami, chère amie,
Pendant que les familles canadiennes font la queue pour obtenir le vaccin contre la grippe ou attendent impatiemment d’avoir accès à un approvisionnement limité de vaccins, les cliniques privées à but lucratif administrent des vaccins à leurs patients à revenu élevé qui peuvent payer des milliers de dollars par année pour cet accès privilégié.
On a même signalé des cliniques privées qui vendent le vaccin.
Voilà plusieurs mois que la Coalition canadienne de la santé demande au premier ministre d’agir immédiatement par rapport à ces cliniques privées en vertu des dispositions de la Loi canadienne sur la santé. Passer avant son tour est illégal – la loi canadienne interdit aux mieux nantis de payer pour être les premiers à recevoir des services médicalement nécessaires.
La situation est maintenant urgente. Nous avons besoin de vous pour que vous ajoutiez votre voix à celle des milliers de Canadiens et de Canadiennes qui veulent protéger le régime d’assurance-maladie, si cher à nos yeux.
Faites savoir au Premier ministre Harper que les Canadiens et les Canadiennes s’attendent à ce qu’il assume son obligation légale et mette en application la Loi canadienne sur la santé. Prenez un moment, immédiatement, et envoyez un courriel au premier ministre – cela vous demandera seulement deux (2) minutes!
AGISSEZ -- CLIQUEZ ICI POUR ENVOYER UN COURRIEL AU PREMIER MINISTRE
Documents reliés : Le communiqué de presse (2 nov 2009)
Et assurez-vous de donner suite à votre courriel par un appel téléphonique. Le numéro de téléphone du premier ministre est le 613-992-4211
Merci de vous porter à la défense de l’assurance-maladie.
En toute solidarité,
-- L’Équipe de la Coalition canadienne de la santé
