LifePlus program
The act prohibits charging people for access to primary care services. Telus Health has not filed a statement in response.n the meantime, this government will continue to strongly defend our public health-care system.”said they were informed their family doctor was now working with Telus Health and the only way to continue seeing them was to pay thousands a year for the LifePlus program.
“While a million British Columbians go without a family doctor, and our emergency wards are full of sick children, Telus Health has quietly been charging thousands of dollars per year for access to primary health care,” the MLA for Cowichan Valley said in a statement.
...and yet, adriandix is the ONLY 'Health Minister' in Canada that still thinks it's okay for our BC drugstores (i.e. LondonDrugs ) to sell cigarettes... while they hypocritically get BC taxpayer money to help smokers quit for free! This guy has ZERO CREDIBILITY!
Telus is a nasty company. Long time Telus employee caught minimizing child rape & bullying witness who reported it to Vancouver police.
I hope you are able to reach someone from this country on their trouble-line. The last time, I waited for 2 hours and couldn’t understand what they were saying? Perhaps we could “outsource” Telus to someone from Canada?
'B.C.’s Medical Services Commission is taking Telus Health to court over its subscription-based health service, alleging it amounts to illegal extra-billing.'
Telus that got rich off of a monopoly in the telecom market so they can branch out into unrelated services like Telus Health and rip us off too? Nationalize their network.
Dix: “The commission has investigated & determined that Telus Health is charging FEES for MSP covered medical services [..] preferential treatment or priority access to those services,” Telus Health employs 29 full-time physicians in BC. BCNDP once again, ENFORCING the HC Act!👏🏽
Fine and dandy for Dix and Eby to waste taxpayers money to harass a company that is trying to help. They more than likely have a doctor.
Build more doctor trains!!!
This is BS! We have a horrible healthcare system in BC
True
That all fine and dandy, but I've been waiting for a specialist appointment for 4 months.... Can kinda see the benefit of a 2 tier system, especially with all the waste due to inefficiencies in the system due to the revolving door of patients from the dtes.
Really a useful waste of tax payer money!
Well we need doctors! I'm 54 without a family doctor.
I like the TELUS service. It means I no longer have to drive across the border to see a doctor.
Dr Day’s cause has a sugar daddy and it’s TELUS.
