Supreme Court dismisses BC doctor’s appeal in challenge over access to private health care
Canada’s highest court will not hear an appeal from a Vancouver-based physician who has been challenging the health-care system over access to private care.
The Supreme Court of Canada’s decision Thursday ends Dr. Brian Day’s 14-year legal battle to allow patients access to private care when the public system isn’t able to offer timely care.
Day, owner of the Cambie Surgery Center in Vancouver, claimed that prolonged wait times for medical procedures violated two Charter rights, including the right to life, liberty and security of the person.
“In a way, it’s a very sad day for Canadians,” Day told CBC…
Former Trump advisor Roger Stone faces health insurance woes, pleads for viewers to buy a MyPillow to support him
Former Trump advisor and political consultant Roger Stone is back in the news again. He was convicted in 2019 on seven felony counts for obstructing an official proceeding, witness tampering, and making false statements as part of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election. Stone was sentenced to 40 months in prison, but his sentence was commuted by then-President Donald Trump. Stone’s notoriety has also been fueled by his cartoonish wardrobe and his self-proclaimed status as a dirty political trickter.
Now Stone is living his best life as a host of a Lindell TV web program…
Bill 15: Quebec health-care reform plan draws backlash from stakeholders
Quebec’s sweeping new health-care plan—Bills 15—drew a mixed reaction following its announcement Wednesday.
Several health-care professionals say it’s a massive undertaking—especially for a health minister who initially said he didn’t want reform.
“Big reforms tend to have a very destabilizing effect, and we need a clear implementation plan. [We] can’t be told, ‘do this and figure it out,'” said Natalie Stake-Doucet, past president of the Quebec Nurses Association.
“It has to be clear how this is going to take place, how these changes are going to be made step by step.”
The bill aims to create Santé Québec, an agency…

What Ron DeSantis Has Actually Done to Florida
Mmedia coverage of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s all-but-announced candidacy for president is already in full frenzy, and so far the script is exactly as his handlers would like it to be. The governor regularly opens up new fronts in the culture wars, sowing alarm over critical race theory, transgender rights, or border policies. In response, liberal pundits fell into the trap of accentuating the very issues DeSantis had chosen to fire up his base.
Omitted from the public debate about DeSantis’s policies is almost any discussion of his actual record of governance—what exactly he has delivered to the citizens of…

How West Virginians on Medicaid can keep health insurance | News
Editor’s note: This article, first published on March 16, is reprinted from Mountain State Spotlight.
When Covid first updated West Virginia in spring 2020, the federal government took steps to make sure people had access to the food and health insurance they needed. In some cases, benefits are increased. In others, like Medicaid, state officials were allowed to temporarily stop checking eligibility requirements. Since then, the insurance plan intended to help low-income Americans has allowed anyone using it to stay on the plan, regardless of their family’s income.
Many of those changes, however, are now starting to switch back to…
