Strengthening Medicare
Medicare is a uniquely Canadian program. Its goal is to provide
Canadians of all backgrounds and incomes with high-quality health
care when they require it, without the fear of being personally
bankrupt by astronomical health care fees.
RNAO has worked tirelessly over the years to ensure that
the principles of the Canadian Health Act are respected, and
see that any legislation that threatens any Canadian's access
to needed care never becomes law. |
