[news] BC Government Is Violating Canada Health Act: Mexican Migrant Farm Workers Denied Basic Medical Coverage

[Mostly Water - mostlywater.org = news.resist.ca]

(Vancouver)-Migrant farm worker advocates are accusing the BC Liberals of violating Canada's Health Care Act by denying migrant farm workers access to health care in BC. Justicia for Migrant Workers, an advocacy group fighting for the rights of migrant farm workers in BC, is demanding that migrant farm workers from Mexico be immediately included under the province’s MSP health insurance scheme, so that they can be given basic health coverage. Mexican workers have already started to come back to BC for the third year in a row, and up to a couple thousand workers are expected this year throughout BC.
