Whereas, The healthcare of Canadians is a priority concern for all citizens;
Whereas, Inflation has adversely affected the costs of the delivery of health care services; and,
Whereas, The universality of the Medicare system is being eroded through the diversion of federal funds destined for health care by “opting out” by physicians; therefore,
RESOLVED, That the National Council of Women of Canada urge the Government of Canada to ensure that the universality and excellence of the Medicare system in Canada be maintained; and be it further,
RESOLVED, That the National Council of Women of Canada urge Local and Provincial Councils to urge their Provincial Governments to ensure that the universality and excellence of the Medicare system be maintained.
