Speaking notes for Caryn Duncan, Executive Director of the Vancouver Women's Health Collective (VWHC), for the Vancouver Sun Editorial Board meeting March 12, 2002. Speaking on behalf of the BC Health Coalition, a broad-based coalition of community groups, health care workers, and unions, Caryn spoke about cuts to health care services in BC, the threat of cuts to health care jobs (mostly held by women), increases to MSP premiums, and off-loading costs onto users. The speech points to the promises made by BC Liberals, and the evidence that these promises have not been kept.
