A little thread on some of Higgs& #39; comment on 554 this morning. He said if health authorities raised access as an issue he would look to address that. Horizon raised the issue less than a year ago. https://globalnews.ca/news/6078677/horizon-health-throws-its-support-behind-clinic-554/">https://globalnews.ca/news/6078...

Here was his answer when I quoted the board& #39;s motion to him.

When pressed, he said that he would need a motion explicitly calling for more access *inside* the current public system.

I then asked why things like vasectomies are funded in "private clinics" but abortions are not. Higgs said it& #39;s not up to him to decide what is funded under medicare and what& #39;s not, but rather the Canada Health Act.

ok thread done
