BC Conservatives, NDP, slam new CareCards

... meanwhile, John Cummins — leader designate of the BC Conservatives — has called for an immediate review of the issuing of CareCards. "The Liberals are handing out CareCards like candy," he said in a written release.

"The Ministry of Health is issuing out more than 40,000 new CareCards a month — that's more than 120,000 since Christy Clark became premier. This Liberal incompetence is costing millions because old cards can be used to defraud our health care system. The Clark government talks about cracking down on fraud at some point in the future — but is doing nothing about it right now."

Ensuring that Canadians have access to the care they need, when they need it

Earlier this week my Kamloops Liberal MLA, Kevin Krueger, talked about surgical wait lists and the Interior Health Authority (IHA), in a news story with CHNL 610.  In the story he mentioned that Kamloops is far behind Kelowna in wait times.

I am just wondering what the point was in his story — other than he continues to blames the NDP government from 10 years earlier.

The real story should however be about the personal stories of the people that this situation impacts!
