The fight for healthcare freedom and choice continues as we wait for a decision from British Columbia’s Court of Appeal.
We expect this decision to arrive anytime now.
Being put on a waiting list is not healthcare, and we need to have a serious conversation about alternative ways of delivering and paying for healthcare in Canada. COVID-19 has exposed the lack of flexibility in our healthcare system of rationed care and low hospital bed capacity. Perhaps one positive from the pandemic can be a wider acknowledgement of this problem supporters of the healthcare freedom case are already acutely aware of.

Regardless of the outcome at BC’s Court of Appeal, we expect this case to make it all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada. Please consider donating today to help us pay for this case going forward so that all Canadian patients can have more choice and more freedom in seeking healthcare.
