e-673 (Health care services)
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Government of Canada
- The Canada Health Act recognizes home care as an “extended health service” not an “insured health service” to which the principles of the Act apply;
- Insured health services are fully funded by government and delivered based on the patient’s need, not their ability to pay;
- Through its legislative role, the federal government can facilitate national approaches and standards that must be satisfied by provincial and territorial health care insurance plans.
