Is New Brunswick Violating the Canada Health Act?

By Get Informed, News, Video

We’ve all heard the claims that New Brunswick is violating the Canada Health Act because Medicare does not pay for surgical abortions at Clinic 554 (abortion clinic in Fredericton). But what does the Canada Health Act say? What is its purpose and is New Brunswick really violating the law by only paying for abortions in designated hospitals?

In this video, Executive Director, Heather Hughes, discusses this and more with Dr. Tom Bateman, Chair and Professor of Political Science.
