Ask #BCgovernment #HealthMinister #JosieOsborne : Protect Access to Care for #LongCOVID, ME #CFS & #Fibromyalgia Patients
Thousands of #BritishColumbians living with Long COVID, #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis (ME/CFS) & Fibromyalgia rely on the BC Centre for Long COVID, ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia (BC-CLMF) for care. Many are housebound or live in rural areas. This clinic—accessible only through virtual care—is their only connection to #medical support, education, and physician-guided treatment.But due to changes to BC’s #MedicalServices Plan coming September 1, 2025, this clinic is at risk of shutting down. If that happens, patients will lose access to essential care. #ERs and #GPs will be further overwhelmed, and there are no viable alternatives. Other programs are too short-term, overbooked, or exclude those with ME/CFS or Fibromyalgia. This clinic is cost-effective, scalable, and already working.
We urge Minister Josie Osborne to act now and secure #sustainable #funding for the BC-CLMF. We don’t need a new program—we need to protect the only system that’s helping. Please don’t abandon BC’s most vulnerable patients. Sign and share to help save the #BCCLMF.

Physician shortages ..#RuralBC emergency departments https://www.westernstandard.news/features/in-depth-physician-shortages-wreaking-havoc-on-rural-bc-emergency-departments/57237 “#Healthcare woes are an all too familiar reality for rural #BritishColumbians, with residents of many small towns growing accustomed to hearing that their local hospitals are struggling to keep up with the needs of the community.
In recent months, however, things have taken a turn for the worse as #EmergencyDepartments across the province announce temporary interruptions due to a shortage of #physicians.”

*Me, my Mom & my youngest brother are some of the many thousands of patients in #BritishColumbia who have been on the #WaitingList for a new family #doctor since our previous GPs retired.*
When the province introduced its #HealthConnectRegistry in 2021, we were told this would help #patients to find a #FamilyPhysician.
About 900,000 #BritishColumbians have no doctor, and while the #Health Ministry continues to announce the recruitment of new #physicians, that number has remained fairly constant for years.
Yet the #inability of the Registry to make meaningful progress is only one of its failings.
More troubling is that the Registry makes no attempt to place patients based on their age or #medical condition. This conflicts with one of the basic principles underlying medical practice, that faced with an inability to treat everyone who needs help, those with the most pressing requirements should come first.

“According to the federal government, 23 per cent of #BritishColumbians have been vaccinated with the #XBB15 vaccine, which was first distributed in the fall of 2023 and offered again through this spring’s 2024 campaign.
This represents one of the highest vaccination rates in the country, where the national average is 18 per cent vaccinated — but it’s still less than one-third of #BC.’s population, and that #COVID strain is no longer dominant,”

'High' #COVID levels in B.C. show virus still a threat | Vancouver Sun https://vancouversun.com/health/covid-activity-levels-bc-health-emergency ““COVID is still a major, ongoing health issue and crisis,” said Tara @MoriartyLab an associate professor at the University of Toronto, an infectious disease expert and co-founder of the #COVID19 Resources Canada
By Moriarty’s calculations, one in 52 #BritishColumbians currently has #COVID. According to recent federal wastewater testing from mid-July, B.C. has “high” COVID-19 activity levels.

It’s no surprise that big #polluting companies are not happy about annual #CarbonTax increases. But it is #unfair that #BritishColumbians must pay the full carbon tax when the #OilAndGas industry, whose production is responsible for more than one-quarter of #BritishColumbia #CarbonEmissions, gets a carbon #TaxBreak.
The new system will also have a negative impact on B.C.’s carbon #TaxRevenues. In 2024-25, carbon tax revenues will be about $500 million lower than they would have been under the old system. This #RevenueLoss means fewer dollars to pay for #ClimateAction.
These changes point to a #BCgovernment that is far too cosy with the oil and gas #industry. And they make no sense given the urgency of acting on #ClimateChange. #Disasters in 2021 alone caused between $11 billion and $16 billion in damage to the #BCeconomy.
If B.C. really wants to be a #climate leader, the government must stop pandering to lobbying by the oil and gas industry that is causing climate change and act in the interests of all British Columbians
