Dear reader, This petition concerns an issue of access to healthcare. For 5, 760 of the residents of Kensington Market/Chinatown area, Chinese is the home language (Statistics Canada, 2008). Over 3,000 of the residents here have no knowledge of either English or French; the number one new immigrant population is here is from "Eastern Asia" (Statistics Canada, 2008). This petition is in support of a Chinese version of the OHIP (Health Card/Coverage) application package for Chinese immigrants coming to Toronto. No one should have to forego health coverage because of a language barrier, please show your support by signing.

Its ridiculous that it is so hard to get basic care if you dont speak English. Everyone deserves health coverage no matter what language they speak.
