Feminist pioneer #MoniqueBégin dies at 87

«In 1966, she was a signatory of the founding charter of the #FederationDesFemmesDuQuebec, for which she served as the first vice-president.

The following year, she was named secretary general of the #RoyalCommission of Inquiry into the Status of #Women in #Canada. The report it published in 1970 remains important to this day.»

Also, while that may be her personal preference, it's entirely plausible that she will honour her promise not to bring in user fees during this term. She has other changes -- still controversial, but less so, ones that are not contrary to the #CanadaHealthAct -- that she wants to make to the #HealthCareSystem .

Politicians generally try to avoid creating maximum opposition by making all their changes at once.

“#CanadaHealthAct prohibits charging "insured persons" for medically necessary services, there has been an explosion recently in the number of companies across the country offering #online #doctors' appointments and charging fees..

..get around the Act prohibition by connecting the patient to a physician in a different province. Under the #medicare rules in the province where the doctor practises, the patient technically would not qualify as an "insured person."

Re-write the #CanadaHealthAct to #NationalizeHealthcare insurance, health colleges, health system administration & #health system governance;

The Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons begs to differ with Doug Ford on privately run surgery clinics. Trudeau needs to shut this down. It violates the spirit of the #CanadaHealthAct if not the act itself. And it will cost more and drain resources from the public system.
