For those wondering like I was, it’s not about the trade war which would he a harm to BC citizens, it’s because of improvements in care and wait times here that it’s not needed anymore.
About 93 per cent of British Columbians are now waiting less than four weeks to start radiation treatment, according to the province, above the national benchmark of 90 per cent.
This is a 24 per cent increase from when B.C. first announced plans to send patients to the U.S. for care in the spring of 2023.
That’s a nice increase!
Just as a separate aside, that’s the kind of improvement in healthcare worth touting when people think/say nothing is changing here.
Nice, we’re bringing it back under the public system. This is another nice accomplishment from the bc ndp.
The Lemmy fetching bot has problems with the cbc.ca site.
When linking to CBC, please include a “Thumbnail URL”, and in the “Body” add a short quote from the story like the first sentence of the article or similar.
Thanks.
