BC Health Voices

Clear information on Bill 36, physician concerns and what the HPOA may mean for patient care in BC.

[BC Health Voices @bchealthvoices]

Your treatment should start with your needs and the medical evidence—not political pressure.

Patients deserve both accountability and sound clinical judgment.

@bcndp The BC NDP is driving bureaucratization and politicization of medicine by taking over medical colleges. This creates costly layers of bureaucracy, pulling doctors away from frontline care and into administrative roles. Patients pay the price.

@Dave_Eby In Alberta, many clinics accept patients. AB protects health professionals’ freedom to speak, while BC introduces Gag Order Bill, making it harder for health professionals to speak up and stay in B.C. Support health care professionals in BC. https://t.co/QlHkhLei1I

@Dave_Eby Why can’t BC retain its own health care professionals, yet needs to recruit from the US? Do they stay? Why is it so hard to find a GP or access specialist care in BC, while so many clinics in Alberta are accepting new patients? Why isn’t BC fixing the reasons professionals leave?

This doctor & @bchealthvoices make some good points about HPOA aka Bill C36 a massive government power grab pushed thru by then MoH @adriandix

Will someone defend doctors? Need our autonomy to advocate for our patients

Since April 1 2026 professional autonomy no longer exists

@robbfraser BC’s NDP “Gag Order” Bill 36 must go. Doctors must be free to speak up for patients without fear. Funding cuts now threaten more independent GP clinics. Recruitment is not retention. Why are BCers still struggling to access care? Support us: https://t.co/QlHkhLei1I

[BC Health Voices @bchealthvoices]

@moneytalkstweet Alberta is moving to protect health professionals’ freedom to speak, while introduces B.C.’s Gag Order Bill. Making it harder for health professionals to speak up and stay in B.C. when patients are already struggling to access care? https://t.co/QlHkhLei1I

From TC letters…
Another BCian calls for the government to publish real data on health care, waiting lists, and associated impacts.

BC's pharmacy regulator lists a $700 special pharmacy licence fee for 2026/27: system upgrades and new HPOA requirements.

Not a patient charge. How will care improve?
