Premiers to be told to stop two-tier health care at their Charlottetown meeting
Canada’s premiers are meeting in Charlottetown on July 21-23. The PEI Health Coalition and Canadian Health Coalition will be there to make sure that the premiers hear that two two-tier, U.S.-styled health care is not welcomed in Canada and that public health care needs investments and building up, not cuts and tearing down.
