The premier was referencing the story of a Victoria couple, who took out an ad in the newspaper to plead for \u0027life or death\u0027 prescription renewal because of a doctor shortage.

to plead for “life or death” prescription renewal because of a doctor shortage.

“The examples of having to put out an ad to get a prescription filled, or other families concerned about being able to access primary care is a real and pressing problem, and we’re doing everything we can to address it. But it needs to be across the country, not just across the community.” Asked what the premier would do if he doesn’t hear from the prime minister, Horgan said: “Maybe I’ll take out an ad in the paper. I don’t know. I suspect we’re going to do that anyway.”

Horgan: 'I don't have enough money, blah, blah, blah ...'

Sarcasm - I like it! 😉

VaughnPalmer Restructure first, to many admins & boards that spend $$ & dont address the problems. Stop union staff from moving their shifts to optimize the holidays & weekends so they cant collect massive overtime. & hire back the unvaccinated. Then once that is done you can ask for more $$

Horgan, you are the lowest form of life on the planet

How about taking out an ad when your cancer comes back?

How about an ad for a new premier? jjhorgan Dave_Eby GlobalBC tasteless-sack-of-monkeyshit BCMedicalJrnl bchealthyliving

VaughnPalmer What an insult jjhorgan to a woman fighting for medical help for her husband because your govt to incompetent to keep public health care operating gutless and shameful

jjhorgan so your making fun of someone looking for medication?

Bad jokes is his hobby

VaughnPalmer pathetic! Not having doctors is not a joke!

Very bad joke, but then he is a joke. Stop blaming, start working, and fire some people.

Disgusting jjhorgan

He is not a nice man.

Horgan is turning into a comedian these days

April 10, 2020 Mr. Ego told Feds 🖕🙄 Now he wants Federal help? After bcndp decimated BC healthcare & screwed up covid19bc response? 🤢🏥🆘😷🚨💸 'B.C Premier John Horgan was so angry he used an expletive & called the ordeal a waste of time'😡 bcpoli

⚰️💀🆘🏥 jjhorgan is mocking desperate BC seniors 🤢 ChristyClark is soooo proud of bcndp she couldn't have achieved this next level corruption, negligence & deception without the trust BC citizens gave to the BCNDPCaucus 😫😳🆘 bcliberals 🏆🥇😡🖕 bcpoli bcndp

Trudeaus to busy giving our money to foreign countries. No health care until our federal government has changesd.

where did the allocated museum funds go to?

You tell ‘em John!!

Maybe if the people in Vancouver stopped voting for the Liberal Party, you could get a more useful government.

But still no plan what to do with it?

Too many people work in the provincial government. Start cutting

Thought you were resigning jjhorgan

Heath care and FP availability to all British Columbians is not something to joke about jjhorgan. Do better.

Like all good Socialists, jjhorgan believes all problems are solved with more money - whether through more taxes or Fed subsidies. It’s not about money. It’s about mismanagement. Own it Johnny boy.

Raise provincial taxes, stop sucking off the teat of the feds - healthcare is 100% provincial jurisdiction.

stephenbraverm1 His answer is to tell a bad joke?! What an absolute jerk. bcpoli bcndp

I'd like to see him tell that 'joke' to the *Order of BC recipient* who placed the ad. He wouldn't have the f-ing guts.

Have a heart Horgan.

How about we raise the foreign buyers tax to 50% and use the extra funds for healthcare. These foreign buyers don't pay much tax in Canada so this makes it a little fairer.

Um, maybe you shouldn’t have spent so much time sucking face with Canada’s narcissist-in-chief, over a White Spot lunch - much like you did with the awful Green moron Andrew Wilkinson, over beer and patting each other on the back when he backstabbed you in the end.

Maybe it’s time to optimize our current system. It’s way too admin heavy as every single person in this industry has repeatedly stated. They’re still using fax machines ffs!!!

It must be frustrating for him knowing his government has done everything correct running health care and that Justin Trudeau is ruining it for him.

😬

An elitist comment from someone who never has to worry about having a doctor for himself and his family.

He is a disgrace to his office. Glad he can get the care he needs. A pitty he doesn’t care about all those that once believed in his party

Has a socialist ever fixed a problem in the long term without simply extracting more wealth from somewhere else?
