Summary:
A pamphlet exploring health care user fees in BC, with a gender-based analysis of health care access for women in BC based on social determinants of health including poverty, age, race and ethnicity, immigration status, and ability. Written by the Vancouver Women's Health Collective (VWHC), the pamphlet uses statistics from the 2005 census report in order to highlight the many ways that women are denied access to the services they need as a result of substantial increases to the Medical Services Plan (MSP) in 2002.
