Action Alert (November 15, 2010)
Take Action for Health Care
Dear friend,
This week is National Medicare Week, a time to celebrate a defining feature of of our country. Canadians strongly support the core values on which our public health care system is premised – equity and fairness.
There are, however, serious problems that need to be urgently addressed, including lack of access to timely care, home and continuing care, and affordable prescription drugs.
And the Prime Minister has stood idly by as provinces de-list services, allow extra-billing by physicians, and permit the selling of medically-necessary diagnostic services and queue-jumping, all in violation of the Canada Health Act.
We need you to take a moment right now and email the Prime Minister. It only takes 2 minutes. The Prime Minister needs to know that Canadians want action and leadership on health care, and they want the Canada Health Act enforced.

Sincerely,
– The Canadian Health Coalition Team

Agissons pour les soins de santé
Chers amis,
Cette semaine, nous entamons la Semaine nationale de l’assurance maladie, une occasion de célébrer une caractéristique propre de notre pays. Les Canadiens appuient sans réserve les valeurs fondamentales d’équité et de justice sur lesquelles notre système public de santé est fondé.
Toutefois, de sérieux problèmes doivent être traités de façon urgente, notamment le manque d’accès à des soins en temps opportun, les soins à domicile et les soins de longue durée ainsi que les médicaments sur ordonnance à prix abordable.
De plus, le premier ministre est resté muet alors que les provinces ont abandonné l’assurance de certains services, qu’elles permettent la surfacturation des médecins et la vente de services diagnostiques nécessaires sur le plan médical ainsi que le resquillage, des pratiques qui sont toutes une infraction à la Loi canadienne sur la santé.
Nous avons besoin que vous preniez quelques minutes maintenant pour écrire un courriel au premier ministre. Le geste vous prendra à peine deux minutes. Le premier ministre doit savoir que les Canadiens veulent que des mesures soient prises et qu’un leadership soit assumé en matière de soins de santé. Ils veulent aussi que la Loi canadienne sur la santé soit mise en application.
Cliquez ici pour envoyer un courriel au premier ministre
Sincèrement,
L’équipe de la Coalition canadienne de la santé
