[Viva] FW: Speak out Against Cuts to Medical Coverage for People with Disabilities!

[Sharyle Lyndon]

Thank you for your SupportI just looked into this and found out the ministry will be sending out a letter in April to those affected and that more details will be posted on the website on April 1st.  Everyone needs to contact their MLAs and remember that the government works for us.  We need to tell them what we want and need.

Thanks

              Speak out  Against Cuts to Medical Coverage for People with Disabilities

              Dear Friend of Medicare, 
               
              Following this month's provincial budget the Ministry of Housing and Social Development announced it will be making a number of cuts to the health and medical services available to people receiving provincial disability benefits and income assistance.

              These include:

                a.. Cuts to Medical Equipment and Supplies 
                b.. Cuts to Monthly Nutritional Supplement 
                c.. Cuts to Medical Services 
                d.. Cuts to Dental Treatment 
                e.. Cuts to Shelter Allowance 

              Our community allies at the BC Coalition of People with Disabilities (BCCPD) are very concerned about the impact that these changes will have its community and is disappointed at the lack of community consultation about these cuts. 

              We are asking that you support BCCPD and raise your concerns about these cuts by writing to Minister Coleman today! 

              You can also find your local MLA here. 

              Detailed information on the cuts listed above can found on the BCCPD website.
