End BC's Dangerous & Costly Wait Period for Health Care for Immigrants

This was my devastating experience 19 years ago when I delivered by child prematurely after 2 weeks from our arrival here in BC. Please end the 3 month wait period for the immigrants to access health care.

Let's make a change ❤❤

Some immigrants might becin need of health care urgently. Ending the 3 months should have been done a long time ago.

So important to put an intersectional lends on all aspects of government policy.

It’s an additional scare as newcomers in a new country since travel insurance (with additional cost) might not be enough for posted emergency hospital fees...we prayed for good health for 3 months

This is patently obvious.

End this discriminatory policy now!!!

My dad had a serious emergency shortly upon arrival caused by the stress of the migration to a new country. He didn't want us to call the ambulance to take him to the hospital as it was very expensive without the health coverage. He could have died. Noone should go through this.

Health care for all!

End your three-month wait period for health coverage for newly arrived im/migrants

This is simply unethical. So wrong at all levels.

If the person already decided to establish in the province, there shouldn't be a wait to have a human right!

There should be no waiting period for the new permanent residents.

Health is a human right. No matter what status you have.

This is not in anyone’s best interest. Helping people get and stay healthy helps us all.

This unjust waiting period contravenes the Canada Health Act and must end.

End this discrimination.

Maintaining the three month waiting period is both inhumane & false economy.

British Columbia can do better in working toward health care/health equity for newly arrived im/migrants!
