B.C.'s Medical Services Commission accuses Telus LifePlus program of extra-billing

Posted: Dec. 2, 2022 8:56AMB.C. Health Minister Adrian Dix pauses while responding to questions during a news conference, in Vancouver, on Monday, November 7, 2022.

The fee leads people to believe they will get preferential treatment if they pay for a membership, the petition to the court says. “It is very important to uphold the Medicare Protection Act, which is in place to preserve our publicly managed, fiscally sustainable, health-care system for British Columbia,” he said on Thursday.The court documents cite a would-be patient and a private investigator who say they were told they would have to pay the annual fee to see a family doctor.

If we caught Adrian Dix with a huge LIE like this, then why would we believe him ever again when it comes to our health? He knew his Covid Jab would not stop the Covid infection, but he coerced BC’ers anyways into getting the shot. WE WILL NEVER FORGET.
