CMA, NBMS sit down with Premier, top officials over care of the aging

Call it a mini-summit or just a quickly-arranged meeting of minds. But the goal of everyone around the table in the office of the Premier of New Brunswick was clear — better care of the province’s aging population.

In advance of the development of the 2017 federal budget, please take a minute to write a letter to your Member of Parliament and the members of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance. The Committee recently launched its pre-budget consultation process and is inviting the participation of Canadians.

The more we unite and voice our concern, the likelier the government is to take action.

Thank you!

Big news: The Toronto Star, Canada’s largest circulation print newspaper, has lent their credibility to our vision for a new Health Accord, calling for a demographic-based top-up to provincial healthcare funding based on each province’s population of seniors.

In an editorial dated August 26, the Toronto Star said: “One worthwhile change, forcefully advocated by the Canadian Medical Association earlier this week, would be for Ottawa to deliver additional health care funding through a special ‘top-up’ based on each province’s population of seniors.

This kind of institutional support is critical to our efforts as we continue to advocate for all levels of government to adopt a comprehensive approach to seniors care, but none of this would have been possible without supporters like you demanding a plan.

Your voice matters! Together, we can ensure all Canadians are getting the care they need and deserve.

Toronto Star endorses CMA Vision for Health Accord that includes Seniors Plan

[ http://www.demandaplan.ca/toronto_star_ ... ssociation ]

Posted on September 08, 2016

One of Canada’s leading daily newspapers has taken a public stand in favour of the Canadian Medical Association’s proposal for the next Health Accord, now in the early planning stages among the federal, provincial and territorial governments.

In an editorial dated August 26, the Toronto Star said: “One worthwhile change, forcefully advocated by the Canadian Medical Association earlier this week, would be for Ottawa to deliver additional health care funding through a special ‘top-up’ based on each province’s population of seniors. (…)

“One goal of a national accord is to eliminate, or at least ease, (discrepancies across the country regarding health care services available to seniors). To that end, it would make a great deal of sense to introduce some form of demographic top-up. This represents just one opportunity inherent in negotiating a new health accord.”

Given the credibility of the Toronto Star, this is great news for the campaign to get all governments to put seniors care at the top of the health care agenda. This important endorsement will give new impetus to our outreach efforts, as we continue to urge the Trudeau government to adopt a comprehensive plan for seniors care.

Credit for this important development is due in part to the support of the many Canadians like you who have signed on to “Demand A Plan”.

Please keep up the pressure on our politicians, so that they take action to provide the elderly with the support they need and deserve.

Please stay connected through DemandAPlan.ca, and encourage your friends and family to join too!
